While in theory, as long as the Black Flag Ant and Roach Killer Aerosol is being used according to label instructions and not reaching any food directly or food prep surfaces, it should be safe. However we could not speak to the risk of contamination to nearby food or any risks that would pose to you or your family. You would need to speak with the manufacturer directly for any concerns of this type. Their info is: Chemsico, Div. of United Industries Corp. P.O.
