Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when buying non-toxic dishes & drinkware?
1. Lead and cadmium in glazes 2. Melamine leaching with heat 3. Decorative paint on food-contact surfaces
What ingredients should I avoid in dishes & drinkware?
Decorative glazes, cracked/chipped items, vintage items (potential lead), bright colored imports without certification
How do I care for non-toxic dishes & drinkware?
Avoid microwaving melamine. Discard chipped ceramics as lead can be exposed from under-glaze. Glass and stainless are the most durable and inert options. Lead test kits are available at hardware stores for vintage items.
What greenwashing should I watch for with dishes & drinkware?
"BPA-free" on melamine dishes doesn't address the actual concern — melamine itself leaches. "Food-safe" is self-declared and unregulated.
