FAQs
Where are Blue Ginkgo silicone food containers made?
At Blue Ginkgo, we are proud to manufacture our silicone food containers in South Korea. This gives us access to top-notch raw materials and the latest in manufacturing practices. We believe that this quality combination results in a product that is not only better for the planet but also our customers.
What type of silicone material is used to manufacture Blue Ginkgo food containers?
We are proud to offer our Blue Ginkgo food containers, designed with high-grade, FDA-approved food-grade silicone that is BPA-free and incredibly durable.

Does the silicone pass the ‘pinch test’?
At Blue Ginkgo, we understand the importance of using only high-quality, safe silicone. Although the 'pinch test' is often used to assess the quality of silicone, it is not a reliable method of determining if a product meets FDA standards. Unfilled FDA-grade silicone can still whiten temporarily when pinched to an extreme. To ensure you are getting a safe product, we recommend looking for silicone certified by a reputable agency such as the FDA. Our silicone containers are made with FDA-grade food-grade silicone that is laboratory tested. Plus, they are manufactured in South Korea, so you can trust you are getting an excellent quality product.
