Are these made from "Food Grade" silicone? I've seen other similar products indicate that they use an FDA-approved silicone.

I looked all over the bowls and there is no indication if the silicone is FDA approved. It may be on the packaging, but that is long gone. Sorry.

The bowl is 100% food-safe,BPA-free silicone. BPA-free silicone is hypoallergenic and bacteria-resistant. It's food-safe, pliable and easy to clean, making it perfect for food storage, transport and serving.

in the "About Us" section of their website, it sys their intent was to make a product "4. Made of BPA free FDA approved microwave safe material." Doesn't explicitly say their product is BPA free though on their FAQs.

While, I bought an imitation brand from china, these are silicone. You should never microwave silicone or plastic, even if they say they are microwave safe they still leach chemicals. Only microwave ceramic or glass.

Yes, this is 100% food grade silicone but it is not 100% silicone. Please read FAQ for an explanation by the manufacturer of our silicone products. Sorry for answering your question late. I just came back from vacation and I did not have access to my computer while I was away.

I'm not sure. The description says: "100% FDA Approved Food Grade Silicone, BPA Free".

They are made by Federal Package. It lists them being made of polypropylene, which is listed on Livestrong.com as safe and does not leach into food or liquids, and made in the USA.

The product is made of food-grade stainless steel made in China, I do not know if it carries FDA approval. I do not believe BPA is an issue with stainless steel products, it is more of an additive that is used in the production of plastic containers or items.

Hi. These are thinner and not as heavy as silicone, probably not as durable as well, but they work great for delicate cooking such as cookies and desserts.

It doesn't say on the packaging. All I could find online was that it is food grade. I've used it on rubber o-rings, but never tried it on silicone o-rings (which I've read is not something you want to use food grade silicone to lubricate).

Ken, my amateur analysis would be rubber, not silicone...they work great and wear well.

The description says it is made of medical grade silicone, is this an error?

The mold was bought for wax and soap molds and has never been used to bake or make food. So, no I do not know if it's FDA approved food grade silicone. It did not need to be for my purposes.

Hi Kristen, We only use food grade materials in our products and partnered with a manufacturer to make a BPA-free product, which also happens to be phthalate free. Happy ordering! And for more information if you're curious (as I am!): I'm pretty sure you can't use phthalates in US food product manufacturing. Our product is polyester (for flexibility), nylon (for durability) and a food grade sealant. Polyester (sometimes called PET) is a bit of a misnomer because people can confuse it with a phthalate due to its chemical name. I decided to get to the bottom of this and found several helpful sources in my own research. Perhaps you'd be interested in reading this one: http://www.petcore-europe.org/content/does-pet-contain-phthalates or this one: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1367856/ Best, Brandon

This is Fred, the maker of this product. It is 100% virgin silicone and meets US FDA food-contact safety standards. It does not contain BPA. For the record, I personally have never seen BPA used in a silicone product. BPA first came to light as an ingredient in polycarbonate (PC) plastic, which was often sued for rigid plastic containers like water bottles and food storage containers.

Food grade silicones are generally platinum based materials. All purpose silicones are usually tin based. Food grade silicones are tested to ensure they will not leach potentially toxic materials into your food. Thank you.

They feel as though they are all silicone and state in the paperwork they are completely coated in silicone. There is one item that has a metal core but the rest are microwave safe as well! I really enjoy this product- I have had mine for about a week.
