As a whole I can not say that ABS is food safe. There is more than one grade of ABS and while all of them are most likely food safe, there are specific food safe variants. Piping in your house is probably ABS, there are ABS drinking containers available, etc etc. But this could be the whole BPA fiasco too in a few more years, who knows. As for being medical safe, I have no idea what the stipulations are for that.
