Are VIA Cups pre-sterilized?

VIA Cups are sterile-packed for immediate use and can be re-sterilized and used again. We recommend using VIA Cups no more than four times, then dispose/recycle. All other VIA components, such as VIA lids, are for permanent use and must be sterilized before each use. Sterilize using a Philips AVENT Steam Sterilizer or boil for five minutes. VIA is suitable for all methods of sterilization. Before each use, inspect all items. Throw away at the first sign of damage or weakness.
