Safety, the Pickle & Bear Way
At Pickle & Bear, your child’s safety is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that the things little ones use every day should be as safe as they are delightful — so we’re committed to using only the highest quality materials, free from any nasties.
All of our products are made with 100% food-grade silicone and are thoroughly tested by independent labs to meet — and often exceed — recognised safety standards in both the US and the EU. That means no harmful fillers, no hidden surprises, just dependable quality you can trust.
A Quick Word on Silicone
Not all silicone is the same. We carefully choose between two types of food-safe silicone to suit each product’s purpose:
- FDA-grade silicone meets the strict safety requirements set out by the US Food and Drug Administration.
- LFGB-grade silicone is a European standard that goes one step further. It’s tested even more thoroughly, making it ideal for products that go in the mouth or need to be extra durable.
Why It Matters
Some of our products — like teethers and baby food feeders — get a lot of chewing, tugging and general toddler enthusiasm. For these, we use LFGB-grade silicone for added strength and peace of mind. For other items, like bowls and plates, FDA-grade silicone is more than up to the task.
We make these choices carefully to ensure both safety and value, and each product page clearly states which grade of silicone has been used.
Our Promise to You
Whether it's a spoon, a cup or a toy, every Pickle & Bear product is tested with care and made to meet the highest standards. We want you to feel confident in every purchase, knowing that we’ve done our part to keep your little one safe, happy and supported as they grow.
