2025-09-04

When choosing baby products, parents’ top priority is always safety. In recent years, more and more baby essentials have been made from food-grade silicone, but many parents still wonder: What exactly is food-grade silicone? Is it truly safe for babies to use?

At LYA Silicone , we specialize in Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) injection molding, delivering high-standard baby products, medical components, and pet accessories for global clients. Let’s explore the features and advantages of food-grade silicone together.

What Is Food-Grade Silicone?

Food-grade silicone is a high-purity silicone material that meets strict standards such as FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and LFGB (German Food Certification). Its characteristics include:

Non-toxic and odorless: Free from BPA, phthalates, and harmful chemicals
Temperature resistant: Safe to use between -40℃ and 230℃, ideal for steam sterilization and boiling
Flexible and soft: Gentle on gums and safe for babies’ mouths
Stable and durable: Does not break down or release harmful substances over time

This makes food-grade silicone safe, reliable, and eco-friendly, perfectly suited for modern families.

Is Food-Grade Silicone Safe for Babies?

The answer is yes, absolutely. Thanks to its biocompatibility and safety, food-grade silicone is widely used in baby essentials such as:

Silicone nipples & bottle accessories
Soft, natural feel close to breastfeeding, improving comfort and reducing gas.

Silicone teethers
Relieve teething discomfort while protecting delicate gums.

Baby feeding sets
Silicone bowls, plates, and spoons with suction bases prevent spills and support independent eating.

Bottle cleaning brushes
Flexible, durable silicone bristles prevent bacterial buildup and keep bottles hygienic.
