The production of food grade silicone products requires compliance with a series of food safety standards and regulations, mainly reflected in material selection, production process, testing and certification, as well as color and additives.
Material selection: Silicone materials must meet food grade requirements and usually require testing and certification by corresponding certification agencies or laboratories. These materials should usually be BPA free, non-toxic, odorless, and heat-resistant.
Production process: The production of food grade silicone products requires strict hygiene standards to be followed. Production facilities must be kept clean, and production processes should be dust-free to prevent external impurities from contaminating products.
Testing and certification: The silicone products produced need to undergo strict testing and certification to ensure that they comply with relevant food safety standards. This may require collaboration with certification bodies such as the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) or the EU‘s CE certification.
Color and additives: If silicone products require coloring or the addition of other ingredients, these colors and additives must also be food grade and comply with corresponding food safety standards.
To customize and produce food grade silicone bowls, plates, or other food grade silicone products, we need to choose a professional silicone product manufacturer to ensure that they have relevant production qualifications and certifications, and can provide food grade materials and production processes.
