Mais est-elle vraiment s\u00fbre ? Que signifie \u00ab silicone alimentaire \u00bb ? Voici les points \u00e0 conna\u00eetre, et les crit\u00e8res \u00e0 v\u00e9rifier avant d&#8217;acheter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qu&#8217;est-ce que le silicone alimentaire ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le silicone est un mat\u00e9riau souple, stable \u00e0 la chaleur et facile \u00e0 nettoyer. Le silicone dit \u00ab alimentaire \u00bb est con\u00e7u pour \u00eatre en contact avec les aliments. En Europe, les mat\u00e9riaux destin\u00e9s au contact alimentaire sont encadr\u00e9s par le r\u00e8glement (CE) n\u00b0 1935\/2004, qui impose notamment qu&#8217;ils ne transf\u00e8rent pas aux aliments de substances pouvant nuire \u00e0 la sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Silicone, plastic, bamboo: what are the differences?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Silicone is flexible, non-slip, durable and washable. It is well suited to suction plates and bibs.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Rigid plastic is light, but can scratch and warp over time.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Le bambou est un mat\u00e9riau naturel, mais certains articles dits \u00ab en bambou \u00bb contiennent un liant : v\u00e9rifiez la composition et les consignes d&#8217;usage (chaleur, micro-ondes, lave-vaisselle).<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Les crit\u00e8res \u00e0 v\u00e9rifier avant d&#8217;acheter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>The words \"food-grade silicone\" or \"food quality\", not just \"silicone\".<\/li>\n\n\n<li>The words \"BPA-free\", and if possible \"phthalate-free\".<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Une absence d&#8217;odeur chimique forte \u00e0 l&#8217;ouverture : une l\u00e9g\u00e8re odeur de neuf dispara\u00eet au premier lavage.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Even flexibility, with no greasy or sticky surface.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Des couleurs qui ne s&#8217;\u00e9caillent pas et ne d\u00e9teignent pas.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>The manufacturer's information on resistance to heat, the dishwasher and the microwave.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un test souvent conseill\u00e9 consiste \u00e0 pincer et \u00e0 tordre le silicone : s&#8217;il blanchit fortement, il peut contenir des charges. Ce test reste indicatif et ne remplace pas les informations du fabricant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Les bons r\u00e9flexes d&#8217;utilisation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Wash the tableware before first use.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Respect the temperatures stated by the manufacturer.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>N&#8217;utilisez le micro-ondes que si la fiche du produit l&#8217;autorise.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Replace any item that is cracked, torn, warped or keeps a lingering smell.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Surveillez les petites pi\u00e8ces (ventouses, embouts) et v\u00e9rifiez qu&#8217;elles tiennent bien.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our silicone feeding sets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">D\u00e9couvrez l&#8217;<a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/product\/complete-silicone-feeding-set\/\">9-piece complete silicone meal set<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/product\/baby-crab-meal-set\/\">crab baby meal gift set<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/product\/silicone-baby-car-meal-set\/\">car silicone baby feeding set<\/a>.
