What is FDA Silicone?
FDA silicone meets the requirements of CFR 177.2600, a regulation within the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations that specifies the requirements for rubber articles intended for repeated use or contact with food. It outlines the types of rubber materials, additives, and manufacturing practices that are permitted to ensure the safety of these materials when used in food processing, packaging, and handling.

What is BgVV Silicone?
BgVV, or Bundesinstitut für gesundheitlichen Verbraucherschutz und Veterinärmedizin, was the German Federal Institute for Health Protection of Consumers and Veterinary Medicine. It has since been reorganized into the BfR (German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment) and the BVL (German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety).
