“I don’t know about silicone! Why is it used in my baby’s Snack cup or teether?” 

 Why is silicone used in baby products? 

Food-grade silicone is Nonhazardous, odorless, and Non- toxic. This simply means that it does not contain BPA, latex, lead, and other harmful byproducts which, by the way, should be nowhere near your baby’s mouth. 

It is highly resistant to high temperatures which entails that it does not harden, crack, peel, crumble, dry out, rot, or become brittle over time. Its lightweight quality makes it travel-friendly. 

How is Silicone better than Plastic? 

Let's compare Silicone with plastic for a better understanding 

It’s no secret that plastic ending up in water bodies and landfills is a global issue. Not only plastic causes serious health problems like cancer, infertility, and immune disorders, it contains one of the most notorious chemicals called BPA or Bisphenol A. 

BPA tends to mimic body hormones that influence bodily processes including growth, cell repair, fetal development, energy levels, and reproduction. 

Imagine the sheer horror of this substance present in baby products like Teethers and Snack cups! 

A container made of plastic and BPA may not be completely sealed and it may mix with the food. Note this that Plastic has already been restricted in the EU, Canada, China, and Malaysia, especially for baby products.

“You Constantly mention ‘food grade silicone’, what is that about?” 

Is Silicone safe to be used in baby products? 

FDA Approved food grade silicone is a non-toxic type of silicone that does not contain any chemical byproducts making it completely safe to use with food for babies. It is safe to be used in devices like Microwaves, freezers, ovens, and dishwashers and also is safe for food storage. A product needs to pass several rigorous phases to be FDA-approved.
