I have a leak in my kitchen ceiling. I am worried if this is asbestos-containing material. I am looking to get a professional to test it but in the mean time I would like to know if I can go in there and make food/drink. These are the pictures:
Thanks for reading. Any help is appreciated.

it’s less likely the ceiling will contain asbestos but not impossible.
the artex may also contain asbestos.
either way to me testing it is pointless.
cure the leak , overboard the ceiling and plaster it.
don’t drill or scrape it if your’e worried and you should be fine.

The concern with asbestos, is breathing it in, not ingesting it with your food and drink. It looks as if it might be either artex or wood chip wallpaper from your photos. Wood chip is not a problem, artex could be, some contained asbestos, but not a problem if left undisturbed.
