Food-Grade Silicone Adhesive

Due to problems with certain water filter elements, one may wish to stock food-grade silicone adhesive to re-seal the plastic base to the filter block.  I'm dubious about the VOC content of some of the products, but then again, it's not like the manufacturers of water filters mention the adhesive used in their product.
The MSDS, section 8, lists acetic acid as a byproduct upon contact with water.  However, this apparently is a main component of vinegar, so perhaps it isn't a big deal.
