Can you recommend your glue removal spray which is food safe? Because the entirety of cutlery needs to remain food safe, not just the pointy end.
Just wash the cutlery afterwards? Dish soap isn't food safe either for that matter.
Orange oil works wonders. It's explicitly not food safe, but you get that stuff on your hand every time you peel an orange and it's also present in juice. Just rinse them afterwards and wear gloves.

Of course, after you use it, I would recommend to wash the cutlery.

Paste made from sodium bicarbonate and vegetable oil is good at getting sticky label residue off glass jars.
I recommend isopropyl alcohol. It’s cheap, versatile and works like a charm for most of your cleaning jobs. Way safer and cheaper than sprays and "super-do-that-thing-4000". No offense to the sprayers.
Not for Austrian road tax stickers. That's specifically what made me get the spray.
