A: Thanks for your question. For over 25 years, the safety and comfort of OXO consumers have been our priority. Our products undergo extensive, rigorous testing through third-party, independent labs for lead, BPA, phthalates, and other potentially harmful chemicals. In addition, we monitor and ensure the products meet or exceed the applicable domestic and international regulations, including those in California Proposition 65, and of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), as well as industry and additional corporate quality standards.

A: Hello! Thanks for your question. Our Silicone Slotted Spoon has a rigid core to keep the shape of the spoon. However, it is covered in silicone. The silicone would be the material that touches the food directly.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. This item does not contain recycled material. As you know, there has been some recent press regarding the potential contamination in recycled black plastic in food contact materials. We can assure you that while OXO does seek to integrate recycled plastic into our products, we do NOT permit the use of any recycled black plastic in any of our food contact materials.

A: Good question! Our Silicone Slotted Spoon is sold in the color Peppercorn. This color is a shade of gray.

A: Hello, this product is High Heat Safe for frying, sautéing and cooking.
