If a non-toxic (but also non-food) wax crayon is known/suspected to contain both meat (e.g. stearic acid; see e.g. here) and milk (e.g. dairy-derived palmitic acid), may one use it or does it qualify as issurei hanaah (forbidden from benefit)?

    Stearic acid is not meat, palmitic acid is not milk. Additionally there are not at an edible stage, there are degraded from a eaten point of view.

    non toxic is not synonym of food, edible, e.g. a stone may be non toxic, wood may be non toxic.but there are not food even for a dog

  • I haven't looked at each link that you placed in your question. But, I think we can logically deduce that if a non-edible food wouldn't make the oven non-kosher, then there shouldn't be a problem handling it. I think all this follows the same rules.
