Horsefield substrate??

Hi all, I have two horsefield males who are kept in a vivarium. I was wondering what substrate other people use? I have done a ton of research and they have had all sorts, beech chips, grass pellets and the most recent is a top quality soil mixture that’s suitable for tortoises.

I’ve been told by many people that the soil is the best option but I’ve noticed that my tortoises occasionally get it on their food. I’ve tried putting newspaper under it and feeding them out the viv but they won’t eat out of it.

So what would be the best bedding that won’t cause harm to their eating? (Even if not the best just something ideal as I am in the process of rehoming them)
