One thing is for sure, silicone tableware is safe and suitable for children. Silicone products have now been widely used in various fields and are also indispensable in daily life. The reason why silicone products can slowly replace the application of glass and plastic in various fields is mainly because they are non-toxic and tasteless.
The silicone tableware for children to eat is a food-grade silicone product. For example, bowls, spoons for eating, pacifiers that children put in their mouths, etc., many are made of food-grade silicone. Its texture is light and soft, and it is also resistant to falling, high temperature, anti-skid, good heat insulation, no toxicity, no taste, no BPA, etc., which meet the safety requirements.
Children are easy to knock over the tableware, and silicone tableware does not worry about the baby breaking. Even if the silicone tableware is burned, no toxic gas will be produced, and silicon dioxide, water vapor, etc. will be generated. Unlike those plastics, pungent toxic gases are produced at high temperatures.
However, some manufacturers, in order to control the cost when manufacturing silicone products, will replace the environmentally friendly odorless vulcanizing agent with a common vulcanizing agent, which leads to the unsafety of silicone products. Therefore, parents must pay attention to screening when choosing. Usually food-grade silicone products manufactured by regular manufacturers will have a certification certificate. Parents may not be able to see it when purchasing, so be sure to choose silicone products that focus on brands. In addition, parents can also make simple identification.

You can also try to pull the silicone tableware. After the regular silicone tableware is stretched, it will be restored well, and no white substance will appear during the pulling process.
Finally, after parents buy it back, don't rush to use it. You can boil the water at high temperature first, and then use it. Regular silicone tableware is safe, don't worry too much.
