I’d love some advice on repairing or replacing this bamboo cup lid, which has lasted around 5 years otherwise!

I’ve thought about doing a kintsugi type repair, since I still have the broken pieces:

However, most kintsugi kits I’ve seen for sale online are either pretty expensive or not meant to be in contact with food. I’m cautious about using a cheaper epoxy for that reason as well – I’m not sure how concerned I should be about chemicals leaching into my coffee even after it’s cured.

Maybe I should just look for a replacement lid online? This one is about 9.5cm across, but I’m not sure they come in standard sizes

    Didn’t Germany warn about bamboo resin cups not being suitable for hot liquids due to high levels of melamine and formaldehyde leaching into the liquid?

    I’ll take food-grade stainless steel any day. Especially since they basically last forever.
