Food-Contact Silicone: What Chocolate and Candy Manufacturers Should Confirm

Food-contact projects should be defined by the target market, material and testing requirement rather than by the vague phrase ‘food grade’ alone.

Start with the Destination Market

FDA-related requirements, European requirements commonly discussed as LFGB/BfR and Chinese GB standards are different compliance contexts.

Material Choice Can Affect Cost

A project that requires a different raw material or test standard may need a different quotation basis.

Do Not Assume One Certificate Covers Everything

The correct document depends on what is being sold, where it is used and what the customer or regulator requires.

Confirm the Requirement Before Production

Compliance should be clarified while the mold material is being selected, not after the batch is complete.

Need a Project-Specific Answer?

If you already have a product reference, target size or capacity and estimated quantity, send the information with the inquiry. The recommendation can then be based on the actual production requirement rather than a generic rule.
