I'd check with the manufacturer; these aren't food-grade silicone, so there's a distinction to be made - You can look it up on the internet.
These silicone sticks are not intended for use in the food industry. There's an important distinction to be made here. And who says they make yogurt pops out of them? oh. yeah. Put an end to it. I really wish you could respond to some of the comments directly.

These are thick, with rounded edges and no flat surfaces, making scraping them off when working with resin extremely difficult. It wastes a lot of resin because you can't scrape it off into the cup without leaving a lot of it on the stick, which drips (or you end up wiping a lot of it off with a paper towel). It's nice that it's silicone, but if it doesn't scrape the sides of the cup well enough to mix the resin, you'll end up with a bunch of unmixed resin that sticks to the surface and never cures.
I'm able to scrape all of the resin from my silicone cups. I don't have to be concerned about scratching my cups because they are made of wood or plastic. I can also use them to swirl resin in molds without having to worry about scratching them. Cleanup is a breeze with these. If the resin hardens, simply peel it off with your fingers. And, unlike other silicone sticks I've purchased in the past, these are extremely firm and sturdy, making them ideal for mixing thicker resin quickly.
In resin, there are fewer bubbles.
These are great for mixing acrylic paints, but they don't clean up as well when used with resin. It's as if tiny droplets have stuck to it and won't come off. Nice and sturdy, and a little heavier and thicker than I expected, but a good deal for the price if you're using them for paint; if you're using resin, go for the cheaper plastic ones that peel off easier.
I absolutely adore these and am overjoyed that I was able to acquire them. They also appear to mix better than the wooden ones in my opinion.
It's unquestionably beneficial. When I stir my epoxy, I can't tell the difference between these and the wooden ones because both produce bubbles; however, these are more cost effective because they are reusable.
Isn't he about 6 inches tall? I ordered a wooden stick as a backup, and sure enough, half the length of the wooden stick arrived, perfect for mixing 16 oz cups.
