Silicone dishware comes in two primary food-safe grades: FDA-grade and LFGB-grade. Both meet safety standards for human use.

• FDA (Food and Drug Administration): FDA-grade silicone meets U.S. government testing standards to ensure food safety.
• LFGB (Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch): A European food safety standard, more stringent than FDA regulations. LFGB-grade silicone is used in select products that require extra durability.

At Moonkie, we offer both FDA and LFGB-grade silicone to ensure the highest quality and performance. LFGB-grade silicone is reserved for items that require added toughness, such as those that go in the mouth. To find out which silicone grade is used in each product, please refer to the individual product page.

There are two main reasons we select LFGB-grade silicone for certain items:

• Cost Considerations: LFGB-grade silicone is more expensive than FDA-grade, so to keep our products affordable, we use FDA-grade silicone in most items that don’t require extra durability.
• Both Grades Are Safe: While LFGB-grade silicone offers superior durability, both FDA and LFGB grades are safe for human use. We choose LFGB-grade silicone for items such as teethers, pacifiers, and pouches for baby food feeders—products that need added strength to withstand wear and tear.

Rest assured, every product we offer undergoes thorough testing to meet the highest safety standards.
