Review: Excellent quality. - I grew up with fisher price kitchen play food in the 1980-1990s and loved them, so wanted to replicate what I had for our children. This is pretty close to the quality I remember. Very durable plastic, more realistic compared to some other brands and our 16 month old is playing with them just fine. Other play food brands are sometimes 'miniaturized' versions of food items....that is not what I wanted. This set is pretty close to actual food size. Our five year old is reading the menu (learned a new word 'segmented orange' today) as we go through the items to order. It is pricey for a set of play food but I remember that in the 1980s-1990s, fisher price play food was also just as pricey because my parents commented on how the sets were expensive too. I will be keeping this set for life to have toys around when people with young kids visit. My parents kept my play food sets and our kids play with them when they visit. These will last a lifetime.
Review: Amazing quality toy food - This is the highest quality plastic toy food that I have ever seen! My son took the little chicken and salmon and started chewing it because he genuinely thought it was food. They are heavier than all the other plastic foods I have ever seen, which makes it great for play time and it makes it so much more durable. I think these would be a great gift for any child who has a play kitchen or loves using play food, it’s genuinely amazing

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How durable is this plastic?  If my kids bite into it, will it show teeth marks?**
A: If they were to bite really hard or continuously than it would show teeth marks. I find the plastic to be durable. Not like the really cheap play foods that easily flatten. This is a good quality set. I love it.

**Q: What is the difference between the red and blue sets**
A: Hi! The blue set includes:  proteins (steak, veggie patty, chicken breast, shrimp), grains and starches (rice and beans, 2-part burger bun, sweet potato fires, baked potato), vegetables (peas, broccoli, corn on the cob), and desserts chocolate cake, 2 apple slices, chocolate chip cookie, ice cream cone), as well as a four-sided menu and information card. The red set includes: proteins (BBQ ribs, chicken drumstick, lamb chops, salmon), vegetables and beans (baked beans, cauliflower, green beans, carrots), grains and starches (macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, rice), and fruit and desserts (cupcake, orange, Brownie, Apple Pie). identify the pieces and order meal combos with the reusable, full-color menu card. It just depends what you're hungry for!

**Q: It says for 3+, is there lead or cadimum in this?**
A: It's made with PVC - without phthalate but PVC can still have dioxin - a carcinogen and also lead! :( Wish it weren't PVC - it's cute but there are other cute toy foods on Amazon made out of healthier plastics. Amazon lets you ask the companies.

**Q: Is this both bpa and pvc free? even if kids don't put it in their mouth it can leach chemicals on their hands.**
A: No, this is made with PVC. I called Melissa and Doug. The rep said it's PVC - phthalate-free. But then there can still be dioxin (a carcinogen - cancer-causing) VOCs and lead.
There are lots of toy foods on Amazon not made with PVC. I plan to buy those. Just ask the companies what plastic they are made of. Amazon lets you write them.
