I had no idea about this

I bought these silicone ones a few years ago, are they okay?

Never bought them in the first place, because it was obvious they would leak into your food while cooking and stirring things around the pan, scraping, etc. Yuck.

Got rid of all the black plastic, kept the silicone, metal, and wood

You want to find a brand that uses “food grade” silicone so it’s 100 percent silicone. I found a brand on Amazon called Fyvva.

+1 looking for recommendations. Are all silicone ones the same in terms of being chemical free?

And is black silicone safe?
Also wondering if it's heating the black plastic that is safe. Are black handles ok?

All black plastic is bad even when not being exposed to heat. Made from dangerous stuff. Melamine too, just bad all around.
Trader Joe’s has silicone spatulas from time to time. IKEA has safe options, just read carefully - they have cheap plastic for USA market and good silicone or steel for European market

How do we know the gray stuff is any better? It's just the black stuff mixed with some white?

The black stuff was made from recycled materials such as batteries, etc. I just got rid of all my plastic stuff.

Wow. Had no idea people were still using those. We've never used those in my family. Only wood and Metal.

Are you serious?! That’s nuts.

Nope. My favorite spatula that I have had for 20 yrs is black no way i am getting rid of it.

I have a black plastic spatula that used to belong to my grandma. She died in 1981 and I inherited it. I don't think they recycled things back then so I doubt it is made out of anything recycled. No one in my family has died or gotten cancer from using it for the last 43 years and I am going to keep using it. If I get cancer when I am in my 80's, I guess I can blame this spatula.

If I can survive the substances I ingested in my 20s, I can survive anything.

I'm 60...does it matter at this point

I'm going to after listening to the podcast about it. I'm not sure how to check silicone, etc. "food grade silicone". I get most of my things at Home Goods or the supermarket.

Will absolutely not be using wood or metal. as if.
