My silicone utensil has a stain

Strongly pigmented foods like curry, turmeric or tomato sauce can leave color on light silicone. This is normal for genuine platinum silicone: the material absorbs the color for a while and releases it over time. It's not a defect and the utensil is perfectly safe to use.

To speed it up, soak the utensil in water, or in water with a little baking soda.
