food-safe cellophane

[prasantrin]

Is there really a difference between food-safe cellophane (i.e. cellophane marketed specifically for candy packaging) and non-food-safe cellophane?

I cannot find food-safe cellophane anywhere (need it for wrapping caramels). I can, however, get some cellophane for wrapping gifts. Can I use that, or do I really need to get specialty cellophane?

Is there something I can use instead? I can get foil for wrapping candies, I think, and I have parchment paper. Any other ideas?

I'm not sure if there is difference or not. I get my cellophane from here http://www.papermart.com/templates/47-0-15.htm

I use the clear 100 which is fda approved for food use. they are very helpful
