Is Silicone Food Safe?

Silicone has become a favorite in kitchens and homes with children, and for good reason. At EKOBO, we incorporate food-grade silicone into many of our products because it combines flexibility, durability, and safety in a way that works seamlessly for everyday use.

Imagine a busy weekday morning: little hands reaching for a snack, a cup accidentally tipped over, and the inevitable rush to clean up. Our silicone cups and snack containers are designed to handle these moments with ease. Unlike some materials that can crack, chip, or leach chemicals when exposed to heat, high-quality food-grade silicone is stable across a wide temperature range. This means it can safely go in the oven or microwave and is dishwasher-safe, simplifying both cooking and cleanup.

Safety is always our priority. EKOBO silicone products meet strict food-contact standards, ensuring they are BPA-free, phthalate-free, and certified to international safety regulations. Parents can feel confident letting children use silicone cups for milk or juice, or snack containers for fruit, without worrying about harmful chemicals.

Beyond safety, silicone is incredibly versatile. Its flexibility allows it to withstand tumbles and everyday bumps, which is especially important when children are learning to feed themselves. It also resists staining and odors, so it stays looking clean and fresh, meal after meal.

Pairing silicone with our BIOBU® bamboo fiber products offers families the best of both worlds. While bamboo fiber provides lightweight, eco-friendly tableware perfect for everyday meals, silicone adds durability and flexibility where it’s most needed. Together, they form a thoughtful, practical approach to mealtime that makes life easier for parents and fun for kids.
