So, yes, I know that due to layer lines etc, FDM (PLA) printing isn't safe for food, however is there a way of making it safe? Essentially I want to create a draw insert for cutlery, so can I print it, the coat it in something to make it food safe?

This is how I make all my prints food safe. Just make sure rhe epoxy is nice and warm and it'll coat the model nicely.
