Default How to repair plastic seal for liquids used in human consumption?

Apologies for being slightly OT, but you people know a lot.

I have a Hamilton Beach Brew Station Deluxe coffee machine. Great
machine, but after 2 years heavy use, it has started to leak. The
coffee pot is made with two pieces - bottom plate was inserted.

There in lies the problem. Multiple heating and cooling cycles have
cracked open this bottom seal causing the coffe to leak down inside,
then out onto the counter top.

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

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

How about acetone to rejoin the plastic?

Anybody know the plastic used and the best way to reseal?
