FDA Compliant Silicone
FDA compliant silicone and FDA approved silicones is similar, but it’s not the same.
- FDA approved silicones have been thoroughly tested to FDA standards by an FDA agent or expert. These materials have been proven safe for their intended use.
- FDA compliant silicones meet FDA standards but have not been tested by an FDA agent or expert. Often, the testing they receive is not as thorough as with FDA approved materials.
Sometimes, FDA compliant silicones are called FDA certified instead. Regardless, FDA certification is not an official FDA term. The phrase “food grade silicone” is also used, but it’s an unofficial way of calling a silicone product FDA complaint.
