At Jarden Consumer Solutions (JCS), we are committed to producing trusted household products that meet or exceed applicable product standards. BPA is a key component in the production of polycarbonate plastics. Polycarbonates (PC) are used in a variety of applications in the appliance industry where strength, durability and clarity are required. BPA is also present in certain thermo set epoxies used in coatings, adhesives, paints, etc. Phthalates are primarily used in vinyl to make the material more pliable/flexible. A vast majority of our products are made from BPA free plastics such as Polypropylene (PP), Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN), High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), Polyethylene (PE), etc. and inorganic materials such as glass, which do not contain BPA. Currently, Polycarbonates (PC) continue to be recognized as safe for food contact applications by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). JCS purchases Polycarbonates (PC) from trusted suppliers, who monitor to ensure what they sell complies with all current federal, state and local health and safety regulations.

I can not find a statement that clearly says they are BPA free. Here is a page from the manufacturer. http://westbend.com/support/product-faqs/materials-statements/plastics.html

I doubt as I haven't read anything like BPA/Chemicals free on their product specification/details. But i agree with Greatagal as the FAQs and CEO message talks about safety.

I don't believe so- I didn't see anything on the box or info pamphlet about being BPA free.

I've been wondering the same thing. I've done some research and can't find anything about this particular model being BPA free, but hard plastics generally are. For those who don't know what BPA is, it's Bisphenol A (BPA), a carbon-based synthetic compound often used in the production of plastics.

I can't see anything on the box or the manual suggesting that it is BPA free. I also couldn't find anything online, sorry. It is approved by the FDA though :)

I was looking for toys with no BPA, phthalates, PVC, or external coatings. It looks comparable but I could not say for sure. I believe the shape makes it easier to handle.

Yes google the owners manual all componets that touch the food is bpa free. Unless you have your own chickens its irrelevant anyway. Sadly in this day and time bpa is just the hot ticket bad word. They feed chickens hormones, massive doses of antibiotics, chickens and low grade corn

I can honestly say I'm not certain the plates are BPA free, but based on the melt point of Bisphenol A and it's use in food and beverage containers has become a flashpoint issue, I would say it is free of this poly carbonate and I would order it simply because it works very well and does it for a very reasonable cost. However I strongly reccomend one with removable plates and ribbed on both sides for quick Panni's like most people like them. Also for ease of cleaning.

I think I saw this brand as BPA free. Check the makers web sight. They ask them. As I am not certain.

This is hard, washable, re-usable white plastic. I don't know whether or not it's BPA-free.

I am not sure about BPA free because it is not stated in the Paperwork that came with the beaker. However, it does show on the beaker that it is an 07 plastic that you can recycle. I hope this helps you.

Hi, Kelli -- The short answer is that I don't know. When I received your question, I looked on the Hamilton Beach website and a few other merchants' web sites and found no mention of BPA. I also checked a web site on which someone posted the question over a year ago, and no one has answered it. In my experience, manufacturers are quick to tout the purity of their products if they can. The fact that it's not on the description on the company's web site certainly raises the question.
