Question from Sarah
Are there any silicone bakewear products that are safe? What to watch out for? I saw a popsicle mold today advertising “made with ” polypropylene” Is this really safe? Presidents Choice brand. thank you!
Debra’s Answer
Silicone bakeware products have been discussed elsewhere on this site…but I wanted to answer this question because of the way it was asked.
“Silicone” is NOT “polypropylene.” They are two completely different substances.
Polypropylene is one of the safer plastics, if you are going to use plastic. It’s the plastic used to make plastic sandwich bags and food storage tubs. So if you are comfortable using those, feel comfortable using this popsicle mold.
Should you not use polypropylene? It’s not high on my list of the most important things to avoid, but if I have a choice to use some other material, I do.
