Ice, chocolate, other candy and specialty foods can be cast or molded into
specialty decorative shapes by using silicone rubber moldmaking materials.
Silastic® E, Silastic® J, Silastic® L,
Silastic® M and Silastic® M-2 silicone rubbers are recommended
for these applications because of the food-contact status.
These rubbers, when properly cured and cleansed, are acceptable for food
contact in accordance with the requirements of FDA Regulation 21 CFR 177.2600,
subject to end-user compliance with any applicable total extractives
limitations. This regulation covers rubber articles intended for repeated
use.
This FDA regulation is valid for the US only; local regulatory requirements
should be taken into consideration for Europe and Asia.
