I use Gulf food grade paraffin wax, which is also theoretically edible, and it has worked out fine so far. I also have half a kg of Silca Secret Chain Blend, which is more expensive.
But this thread seems to have caused a run on Gulf wax online, which is currently selling for about 8x of the $4 I paid for the 1 lb. at Walmart.com.
