Safety & Disclaimer

Earthy Crunch UK sells natural clay and chalk for sensory, hobby, collecting and ASMR use. These products aren’t sold as food, food supplements or health products, and they’re not food-grade certified. Under UK rules I can’t market them as food or encourage eating or swallowing them.

I recognise and respect that for some people in the pica and geophagy communities, tasting, crunching, chewing, spitting or swallowing clay and chalk is an important part of their personal experience. I don’t dismiss or judge that. But I can’t guarantee any product is suitable to eat, and I don’t make claims about its safety for consumption or any health benefits.

Sourcing matters just as much. Research sellers carefully, think about where products actually come from, and look for clear information on composition and any testing. Be wary of sending money to unknown or unverified sellers you’ve come across in Facebook groups or other online communities without doing your own checks first. A seller being popular, or recommended by another customer, doesn’t on its own mean a product is safe. For what it’s worth, everything here goes through a proper checkout with secure payment, and my reviews are public. I’d want the same from anyone I bought from.

Where testing information is available, read it and understand its limits. Testing is useful, but it doesn’t automatically mean a product is suitable to swallow, and Earthy Crunch UK can’t certify any product as safe to ingest. If you choose to taste or swallow anything, you do so entirely at your own discretion and risk.

If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding or getting strong cravings for clay, chalk or ice, speak to your GP. Cravings like these can be linked to things like low iron, and it’s worth ruling out. Adults only. Keep away from children and pets.
