Expert Response

Hi,
According to the USDA, 
"Rust is not a food safe material so it should not be ingested. If you see rust on the surface of a utensil such as a cast-iron skillet or knife, remove all the rust before using it". 
If the rust cannot be removed, it should not be used to produce food.
Best,
