China teapot spout - had a clean break. How do I fix it?

I have a china teapot that I'm very fond of. The spout got broken. It's a very clean break, so would glue nicely.

The question - is there a food-grade epoxy I can use? I almost used regular household epoxy, but after reading the ingredients, I thought I should try to find out if there is a product which will hold like epoxy, but not add a little poison to each cup of tea.

Which glue do you recommend?

I am a ceramicist and would never try and use a pot that has been glued. The glue would seep into the tea through heat and acids etc. and would probably break when you least expect it. but you can have a pot fixed properly and refired by a ceramicist (I do this kind of thing a lot).
