Great! Good to have more options, and at a good price!
Is this the 365 range? There is a black stamp on the bottom of mine? Is it safe ?
That’s great there is no lead or cadmium, arsenic or mercury. I’m wondering about the barium, since that seems like a large amount. Does anyone know if barium is toxic? Thanks
Is this barium level ok?
Hi Zahra,
My understanding is that the Barium is included as a glass hardener – and may be insert in this application. There is a thing called “Barium toxicity” and “Barium Poisoning” so I do wonder about that myself – but I have more concern for glass cookware that is high in Barium (vs. dishes that you won’t be cooking on.) Here’s a post with an example and a bit of discussion about that:
https://tamararubin.com/2018/09/asktamara-do-you-recommend-corning-visionware/
I don’t think it has been appropriately studied in terms of the potential human health impacts from persistent low-level Barium exposure from consumer goods.
Tamara
Barium is in the cocktail including aluminum that they spray down on us in chem trails /seed clouding /weather modification 🙁 it is so hard to avoid toxicity . looking into zeolites to chelate these toxins and remove them from our bodies
Zeolites have lead – and people selling those products don’t have independent third party science to back their claims. It’s basically a modern “snake oil” and leaves people at risk – more on that here: https://tamararubin.com/2019/07/click-the-link-to-learn-more-wait-what-is-this-click-bait-what-are-you-selling/
What about mineral balancing?
As related to? dishes? Not sure the context of your question.
Do you think the color of the glass would make a difference in the reading? I have these but in the light blue.
Yes.
However they are still likely lead-free, but I haven’t tested other colors of this style.
I purchased this plate and two different sizes bowls from the same line. The plate and larger bowl are made in France, but the smaller 4-inch bowl is made in China. Is this a concern since the one you tested was made in France? Thank you so much!
I am throwing out my Corelle dishes and getting the Ikea brand. however, They are made in china. Is this a problem?
Thank you!
I have the same question!
Why are you throwing out your Corelle?
The new plates are made in China, and no longer in France. But only the large plates, the smaller ones and bowls are still from France. Are the large plates made in China still safe?
I’m wondering the same about the ones coming from China. Have you tested any of these to confirm if they’re as safe?
Hi! Are the ikea bowls made in China ok too?
I think Ikea has products from many countries of origin
It would be great if you could answer the question about the plates being now made un China because it’s what’s being sold now by IKEA. The small ones are still made in France but the large ones are from China and we know some suppliers in China sometimes cut the corners to make them cheaper and righht now those plates are 99 cents at Ikea in Canada. I would think that they verify their suppliers but just in case.
Yes! I would also like some commentary on these white glass plates from IKEA made in China, please. Thank you!
Are the regular plain white corelle plates safe? I saw (I think?) that you recommended them on one of your link, but now don’t see them on your shop list link? Thank you.
Is it worthwhile to contact the company to see if the light blue color is safe?
Tamara- I have a question. I DO have some of the unsafe tainted Corelle dishes patterns but I also have a bunch of plain white plates, bowls and saucers that have different stamps. The diner plates say Break & Chip resistant Corelle Vitrelle Made in the USA No Stovetop or broiler. The cereal type bowls say Break & Chip Resistant Corelle Made in the USA No stovestop or broiler and some smaller bowls with a spiral fluted edge say Corelle by Corning Microwavable , no broiler or stovetop Made in the USA. I would really like to know if I can still use these since I have to purge the known lead contaminated sets. I dont want to buy a new set if these are safe. Can you kindly let me know what you know about these and if safe . I so appreciate your efforts and I found so many toxic item in my home due to the page. Thanks for your help with this. PS- i tried to find a Corelle stamp list to determine age/safety but cant find the info

IKEA makes a line of plastic(?) type plates and bowls for children…. and a package of four children. Have these been tested at all of it
I purchased similar white plates (I would say exactly the same), also dessert plates and bowls, all made in France, around 2015. Would these also be, in your opinion, Lead-free, Cadmium-free, Arsenic-free?
yes
These are the Oftast range from IKEA. They also do an oven dish in this material (opal hardened glass)
