In recent years, with the increasing public concern about food safety and health, food-grade silicone has gradually entered the public eye, becoming an "invisible guardian" of food safety.
What is food-grade silicone?
Food-grade silicone is a high-molecular material made from raw materials such as silicone oil and white carbon black through special processing techniques. It is non-toxic, odorless, resistant to high and low temperatures, and chemically stable. It has also passed relevant national food safety certifications and can directly contact food.
Advantages of food-grade silicone:
Safe and reliable: Non-toxic and odorless, free from harmful substances, safe for food contact.
Temperature resistance: Can be used in temperatures ranging from -60°C to 250°C, suitable for various cooking methods.
Soft and durable: Good elasticity and toughness, not easily deformed or aged, with a long service life.
Easy to clean: Smooth surface, not prone to staining, easy to clean.
Applications of food-grade silicone:
Food-grade silicone has a wide range of applications, covering almost every aspect of food processing, storage, and cooking, such as:
Baking molds: Cake molds, cookie molds, chocolate molds, etc., easy to demold and clean.
Kitchen utensils: Spatulas, soup spoons, egg beaters, etc., heat-resistant and not easily deformed.
Baby products: Pacifiers, teethers, etc., safe and non-toxic, protecting baby's health.
How to choose food-grade silicone products?
Look for labels: Check if the product has labels such as "food contact" or "FDA."
Choose brands: Select products from reputable brands for better quality assurance.
Inspect appearance: High-quality food-grade silicone products have uniform color, smooth surfaces, and no odor.
The emergence of food-grade silicone has added an extra layer of protection to our food safety. With technological advancements, food-grade silicone will play a role in more fields, bringing more convenience and safety to our lives.
