Thanks for any response and sorry if it's been posted already (couldn't find the answer!)

I'm not so sure - perfect sterilization is difficult to achieve for any toy. I have a couple of TPR toys that I wipe with alcohol to sanitize and have never had any issues - like those experienced with jelly for example.

Perfect no - acceptable, probably.
