There are a lot of rumors about fdm prints being food safe or not. The best study that I found on this topic can be accessed here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/375373442_The_Impact_of_Sanitation_Methods_of_3D-printed_Parts_for_Food_and_Medical_Applications A four-month lab study found that fdm prints are not worse than other plastic kitchen products like a cutting board. I can recommend the read.

Watertight printing: If you have a well set up machine it comes automatically - Otherwise here are some tips: Increase your wall count (at least 3), level your bed nicely, decrease print speed, increase layer height (at least 0.2mm), increase print temperature, check your seam quality, calibrate your e-steps and fine tune your retraction settings to make sure no holes appear after a layer change.
