Is Thermoplastic Rubber Food/Pet Safe? Confusions between TPR and TPE

Omme Salma   Follow

Material food contact safety rating is not a simple topic. Depending on how a product is made, it may be approved or not. BPA and other plasticizers are only one component.

See the particular manufacturer's NSF, FDA or USDA rating. Can they substantiate the claims for thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or thermoplastic rubber (TPR) with accreditation? Note that NSF is more globally accepted, while FDA and USDA are used in the United State of America.
