I have 3 adult rescue's who have no food agression issues, however I don't really touch them when they are eating.
What is your goal, i.e what do you want to achieve?

My youngest is 15 months now - from the moment I brought her home I would put my hand into her bowl whilst she was eating, I have also on occassion removed the bowl and returned it without incident. It is something I always do when socializing them. I have two grand children and they know the rules - you don't go near the dog when they are feeding BUT should they have ever done so I am pretty sure their would have been no need for concern.

by the way
My youngest was one of a large litter and is therefore a greedy dog!
To OP - sounds like you are doing right to me
