Is this food safe?

I know copper is poisonous to snails. My algae wafers contain copper sulfate which I know is not the same as copper but it does contain the copper element. I know this changes its properties so it's probably snail safe but I want to make sure. Is it?

Although excess copper is toxic to invertebrates, invertebrates need a small amount of copper in their diet to live. I can't 100% say that your algae wafers are safe, but most well known brands contain the correct amount to not be toxic to inverts.
