Parents F.A.Q

This FAQ addresses common concerns parents may have while clearly communicating the safety, regulatory compliance, and eco-friendly nature of your PVC-Free closures.

1. What exactly is a PVC-Free closure? Why is it important for baby food?
Answer: A PVC-Free closure is a type of lid for glass jars that does not contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a material commonly used in traditional closures. For baby food, this is important because PVC can release harmful chemicals like plasticizers, which may migrate into the food over time. By using PVC-Free closures, we ensure that no harmful substances come into contact with your baby’s food, protecting their health.

2. Are your PVC-Free closures safe for baby food applications?
Answer: Absolutely! Our PVC-Free closures are specifically designed for baby food and meet all current safety standards in both the European Union and the United States. They are free from potentially harmful substances like BPA, PFAS, PPA, and plasticizers that could pose health risks to infants. We prioritize food safety in every step of our production process.

3. What harmful substances do your PVC-Free closures avoid, and why does that matter?
Answer: Our closures are free from PVC, BPA, PFAS, and PPA. PVC can release plasticizers into food, BPA is a known endocrine disruptor, and PFAS are linked to serious health concerns. By avoiding these substances, we help ensure the safety of your baby’s food. Additionally, there’s no risk of Dioxin pollution during production or recycling, which means our closures are safer for both your baby and the environment.

4. How do I know your PVC-Free closures comply with safety regulations?
Answer: We comply with all relevant regulations under EU and US laws, which set strict standards for materials that come into contact with food. Our closures undergo rigorous testing to ensure they are safe, especially for sensitive applications like baby food. We take pride in exceeding these regulations to give you peace of mind.

5. What is BPA-NI, and why is it important that your closures are BPA-NI?
Answer: BPA-NI stands for "Bisphenol A – Not Intentionally added." BPA is a chemical used in certain plastics that has been linked to health risks, especially in young children. By ensuring that our closures are BPA-NI, we guarantee that we do not intentionally use BPA at any stage of our production. This minimizes the risk of exposure to potentially harmful chemicals for your baby.

6. How do your closures contribute to environmental safety?
Answer: Unlike PVC-based products, our PVC-Free closures do not produce Dioxins, which are toxic chemicals released during the production and recycling of PVC. By avoiding these harmful pollutants, we help reduce environmental contamination. Additionally, our closures are easier to recycle, which further supports a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations.

7. Is there any difference in the performance of PVC-Free closures compared to traditional ones?
Answer: Not at all! Our PVC-Free closures are just as effective in sealing jars, keeping food fresh, and maintaining shelf life as traditional PVC-based closures. The only difference is that our closures are safer for your baby and more environmentally friendly. You won’t notice a change in performance—just a positive impact on food safety and sustainability.

8. Are your closures also free from other harmful chemicals like PFAS and PPA?
Answer: Yes, our closures are free from both PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances) and PPA (Polyphthalamide), which are associated with various health concerns. This ensures that no harmful chemicals can leach into your baby’s food, providing you with complete confidence in the safety of our products.

9. How does the absence of plasticizers in your closures improve food safety?
Answer: Plasticizers, often found in PVC-based closures, can migrate into food, particularly when exposed to heat. These chemicals can pose risks to human health, especially for infants. By using PVC-Free closures without plasticizers, we eliminate the risk of chemical migration, which enhances the overall safety of the food inside the jar.

10. Why should I choose PVC-Free closures over traditional options for baby food?
Answer: Choosing PVC-Free closures means choosing a safer, healthier option for your baby. Our closures ensure that no harmful chemicals or plasticizers come into contact with the food. Plus, you’re supporting environmentally friendly practices that reduce pollution and waste. It’s a choice that benefits both your child’s health and the planet.
