Is that SLA or FDM? Because FDM leaves tiny little nooks and crannies one cannot clean that are ideal breeding grounds for nasty stuff one doesn't want on one's food...

@wonka the surface pattern strongly suggests FDM. But as mentioned in the alt text, this image is an internet find and not from @BlippyTheWonderSlug

I personally printed stuff for food contact and I really prefer FDM with PETG, since there are food safe PETG filaments. Compared to SLA resins with hazard statements on the packaging…

And bacteria growth is a problem with every surface if the environment conditions are suitable for it to grow.
Just clean and store them in a dry place

@quanten @wonka @BlippyTheWonderSlug I looked into this years ago and the solution I settled on (but never wound up actually using in practice) was to give the finished product a coating of ArtResin, which is food safe.
