What is the best way to reseal this junction, but preserve
the requirement that the liquid in contact will be consumed

Silicone adhesives, as far as I know, are not particularly toxic in the
first place, and I doubt a properly cured bond would leach.


Can food be placed in contact if I use superglue? Doubt it, but need
confirmation.


Superglue isn't stable. It can be weakened simply by contact with water.
