Food & dishwasher safe resin

I have been making a few wooden plates on the CNC machine & using glasscast to fill any cracks, knot holes & splits in the wood as it is food safe. Works really well but now I have been asked by a Restaurant if I could make them some live edge steak platters from wood that they can provide that has a significance to either them or the Restaurant ( not sure which but not important lol).

Problem is that although Glasscast is food safe I have been told by someone that it is not dishwasher safe & since these will be washed in an industrial dishwasher it's quite possibly not going to be an option.

So my question for the experts, Is what I have been told about it not being dishwasher safe true & if it is does anyone know of a clear food safe resin that is dishwasher safe.

The ArtResin should fill small cracks and splits just fine.  It is not quite as runny as GlassCast but it does still have a long pot life so will soak in where it needs to before it sets.
