Question from A NEW MOM
Hi Debra,
I am interested in making reusable sandwich bags for my children. I would like to use nylon because it is sturdy and so that I can wash it in the dishwasher. Do you know if nylon is safe for holding foods?
Debra’s Answer
I don’t know if nylon is considered “food safe” by the FDA, but I know of no toxicity to nylon. Toothbrush bristles, for example, are made of nylon. I don’t know of any reason it wouldn’t be OK.
