Does the packaging state that they are "food Safe" according to the FDA or that they "meet NFS standards"?

There is a statement on the box which says that Fox Run Kitchens' non-stick silicone mat is made from food-grade silicone reinforced with glass weave. Instructions also say "Do not cut the mat" and "Do not cut on the mat".

They are labeled "food-safe silicone" and I have been using several for more than a year. I purchased the first in December '11 and subsequently additional mats. They fit my half-size COMMERCIAL sheet pans perfectly. They do not have the odd chemical odor that I have noted with some of the other (non-Silpat) baking mats. I usually avoid products made in China but this was recommended to me by a commercial baker who had been using them for a year.

H I would say if you know the supplier and if the product is certified then I would say its safe to eat them dry, If the above is not known then I would not purchase a dry product if I had to wash it.

Nothing specifies that they are "food grade." However, they arrive with each one sealed shut. I use them mainly to carry pills around and use them to store my earrings jewelry. Find that they work well.

There's nothing wrong with contacting the manufacturer, of course. However, I have used them in the microwave and the dishwasher for a month now and they are holding up. If you're concerned about whether or not the containers are truly safe health-wise, I have trusted their claims that they are.

Yes they are, they contain no animal products, are safe for vegans to use as stated on the bottle.

There is nothing wrong with the product. I believe those reviews are over a year old. There was a batch made over a year ago and the heat induction seal that goes under the lid was applied with a little extra heat upon packaging. When the bottle was opened they thought it was something with the plastic, but it wasn't. We use FDA approved food grade plastics. There was nothing wrong with the plastic or the product. This was a very isolated incident and after the seal was removed and the lid left off for a few minutes the odor they were getting was gone. This is all packaged in a cGMP facility and was investigated and cleared. Hope this helps answer your concerns. There is nothing wrong with the product. I believe those reviews are over a year old.

I cannot verify that they are "archival quality" -- but did it not state they were acid free?

They are not airtight, but I have never had an issue with any of the prescription meds or supplements degrading over a weeks' time. I have been very happy with this product.

I am not sure. I too was planning on using them for food/ drinks/ fermenting. So I went ahead and got some others that were "food grade" just to be on the safe side.

It is my understanding that they are. I have Celiac Disease and was fine with them. I was told that they shut down regular production when they make the gluten free ones and use cleaned machines. Like everyone else, I can't guarantee it, but I can say they work just fine for me.

I don't know, however they are air tight in what I believe to be a foil lined bag. So I would presume it is OK..you may want to check with the manufaturer.

I wouldnt recommend it there is nothing on the bottle or about the company processing this item to make it of food quality and the sticker seems homemade so they can do what they want to it but to be safe I wouldn't risk it as food safety should meet higher standards which this brand doesn't have to adhere to

Hi, Gretchen. As Allan said, they are tested and certified as pure and potent by the NSF guidelines. Vital Choice products, all of them, are clean. They even test regularly (like all good fish companies should) for radiation levels, especially since the Fukushima event. Vital Choice wild salmon oil is the gold standard.

There us nothing on them to indicate that they are. By feel I would say no. They are great for kids, and perfect for outdoor picnics. Just not freezer or microwave.

I'm sure they are supposed to be. But even things labeled "non-toxic" have quite a bit of allowance for toxins in the product. Toys painted with milk paints and/or sealed with things like beeswax are probably safest.However, I don't know anything about the paint on this particular product.

The little brochure that comes with the set specifically states "this item MEETS or exceeds all F.D.A. And California Prop 65 standards for lead & cadmium content & is safe for food use."
