So the inside would be fine (to me) for use with dried or wrapped type food. Direct contact with polymer clay I would probably have an issue with as it isn't a food grade plastic - you can't clean it very effectively (it would damage the finish) and utensils would score the material and leave nooks and crannies for bacteria. But I have serving ware and showy bowls where the clay is on the other side of the glass or on the handles and as long as I clean it gently I don't have an any qualms! I don't think so much that its toxic, just that its not formulated with the idea of being used for food. These bowls are a polymer clay veneer over glass.

I was wondering, I've heard that you shouldn't put any form of food in polymer clay bowls. Do you agree? Lovely little bowls.
