See full version: Food Grade Adhesives for Equipment and Filters
EU 2002/72/EC and 1935/2004 Food contact regulations concern plastic materials and chemicals which can come into contact with food – even for items such as conveyor belts which food must pass along in a production plant. Therefore, food safe adhesives are required in factory production environments, not just for packaging. more
Good question, some are, many aren’t. FDA epoxies have a reasonable resistance to hot soapy water, once epoxy adhesive has cured, it is inert and resistant to attack. However, you do need to be careful regarding the materials the adhesive is bonding. For example, dissimilar materials where there could be differential thermal expansion and contraction at high temperatures and some substrate materials could absorb water or corrode which could damage the bond. It is always a good idea to perform accelerated ageing tests on bonded parts to check long term durability is satisfactory for your application. [links]
In fact, FDA compliant adhesives are quite limited in terms of adhesive technology and performance features, so no fancy structural acrylic adhesives unfortunately. Permabond offers a small range of two-part FDA epoxies and can custom formulate to meet specific cure or viscosity requirements – providing the formulation can remain in compliance with the FDA formulation guidelines. here
Typical applications which could require FDA approved or FDA compliant adhesives could include:

Need more information about the container before an answer is given. What kind of plastic is this container made of (hard/soft/flexivle/rigid)? Where is this broken piece go (lid/bottom of container/side/lip)? Can this container be used safely without that broken piece? Is the container a "Tupperware" container?
It’s relatively easy to find food-grade resin coating in most DIY stores. However, FDA compliant brands are still in short supply, so searching online is your best bet for a comprehensive selection. here
It’s a MUST to protect your skin, eyes, and breathing passages while working with toxic hardeners and epoxies in a liquid state.
Epoxy takes its rightful place among trendy materials in household use and everyday life. Some of the most in-demand resin articles are:
Measure and mix epoxy and curing agent accurately, sticking 1:1 ratio if the instructions don’t say otherwise. [links]
We don’t want to be a bore, but when it comes to day-to-day use or food storage, a pretty food container simply isn’t worth the risk of BPA or other substances leaching out.
