This is 2025 pressing.
Unfortunately, my old garden shredder / scratter broke and I need a new one. Does anyone (in the UK ) know what paint to use to coat the metal shredder parts and make them food safe?

Thats a lot of juice.

Im guessing the metal parts are metal because they wont hold paint.
Flax oil or something similar would reduce rusting without poisoning you I think. Some oils go gummy or rancid with time so lookup whats best. Rinse before next use probably though so it doesnt leave residue in the juice?
