It's non-toxic and produced with food-contact-safe ingredients (each certified to EU 10\/2011 food-contact standards and EN 71-3 toy-safety limits for heavy metals), and the filament carries UL GREENGUARD certification for low indoor emissions — so it's safe to handle and pass around in classrooms, clinics, and homes. The kernel is a durable hands-on teaching model, not intended to hold food or liquids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKernel is made by Food and Health Communications in their own lab. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to store your Kernel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKeep your kernel at room temperature and away from high heat. Because PLA softens above about 140°F (60°C), don't leave it in a hot car, in direct sunlight, or near a stove, radiator, or dishwasher. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth — no soaking — and tuck it back into its box between lessons to keep it dust-free and its parts together. Stored this way, it will last for years of repeat use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nutrition Education Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48717124960505,"sku":"KERNEL1","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1060\/9112\/files\/wholegrain_book_en_2__Page_01.jpg?v=1785080267","url":"https:\/\/nutritioneducationstore.com\/products\/meet-the-kernel-whole-grain-3d-replica-and-education-kit-english-and-spanish","provider":"Nutrition Education Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
