What Does Food-Safe Mean? A Guide to Sustainable Tableware
Share
When we say something is food-safe, it means the material complies with FDA and similar global food safety standards. But in practice, that label can sometimes feel vague.
The Problem With Plastics
Traditional plastics often contain harmful substances like BPA and phthalates. These chemicals can leach into food and drinks, and in some cases, plastics break down into toxic microplastics.
What Makes Plastic Food-Safe?
To be considered food-safe, plastics must be:
- Free from toxic inputs and dyes (especially BPA and phthalates linked to endocrine issues).
- Non-porous and inert, preventing chemical leaching and food absorption.
Most products are labeled food-safe, but with growing awareness of greenwashing, many parents still ask: Can I really trust the label?
Why Recycled Plastic Can Be Safer
Glass and ceramics are great, but they’re not always practical—especially for kids. That’s where Re-Play comes in. At Dezinery, we’re proud to offer this eco-friendly, sustainable tableware brand.
