Generally Food safe is a good sign, at the very least it's "aquarium safe" but you have to make sure it says food safe. See (https://aquanswers.com/aquarium-safe-paint-durable/). Millipedes will sometimes explore with their mouths so make sure it's fully cured and none of the varnish is peeling...

I have some Orthoporus ornatus and I was able to catch two of them in the act of molting. One of them is molting weirdly but I don't smell anything from him so i'm just going to assume he's still alive and okay.
