Yes sharkbite plumbing fittings are very safe for drinking water although there are warnings on the sharkbite fittings and other plumbing fittings warning about lead and other cancer producing chemicals that are known to the state of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm.

That is just a general warning that California has put in place and it's on everything you buy or at least nearly everything which makes it comical when I see the warning.

I've used Sharkbite push to connect plumbing fittings on my plumbing and I drink water that comes through the Sharkbtie fittings and never had any health issues nor do I worry about any health issues.

Imagine where all the water flows through that comes into your home from as the water has to go through many other plumbing fittings that could contain lead and everything else from many years ago and we don't worry about it.
