Hi Anne;Thank you for your inquiry. The item you have inquired is BPA free. BPA is a mass-produced industrial chemical used primarily to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. There are concerns regarding BPA's potential health effects however there no proven cases that is so. BPA Free products are made without this chemical and that is ow they get their name.PosPaperRoll Customer Service

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 :)

AH... Linda helps clear things up a little. A lack of a recycling stamp doesn't mean anything specific, but it does mean that it isn't one of the first 6 on the list that are definitely BPA free. Progressive hasn't said either way, but some comenters have incorrectly said that it is listed BPA free on the description, which it isn't - or that the Progressive web site says that it is BPA free, either directly or by conclusion, but this is also not true. Read the answers on this product concerning BPA in 2014 and 2013 for my rebuff of those who have said that Progressive's site gives a clear answer. It doesn't. AH...

Yes, according to Consumer Search, it is BPA-free. You can see a review of the steamer, and confirmation of the BPA-free plastic, at this link: http://www.consumersearch.com/food-steamers/oster-5712-digital-food-steamer. Hope this helps!

I don't know if it is bpa free . I would hope that Amazon would be watchful for false advertising , Maybe we should ask them to clarify what in the product .

Darn - I'm not sure. I sort of took BPA-free to mean "not from China" but now I'd like to know, too.

It doesn't notate that it's BPA free. However, the plastic components are only on the base and handle. They really don't come into direct contace with the water inside.

I don't know if it is BPA free. The instructions say "hand-wash only". I really like mine. It is amazing how long the ice lasts.

BPA-free plastic. Now remember, you are paying around $15.00 for this item. The glass is high quality but thin. The plastic can take a lot of heat but warps (not the handle). Its a great deal.

I just looked in the Q and As on this product and this is what I found: Is there BPA in your non-stick dehydrator sheets? A: The sheets are made of paraflex. The manufacture guarantees that paraflex is BPA free. There has been concern with the paraflex due to its plastic quality, but in the binding process, emilcifocation BPA becomes a non issue. Just like the process of some water bottle manufacturing companies, not all plastics are BPA dangerous.

It doesn't say anywhere on the box that it is so I'd imagine that it is not BPA Free. Although does that matter? I don't think it does since you aren't eating or drinking from it. Does BPA leech out from the steam ? If you know something I don't about this please share

I asked the same question before I bought it. I did see a small sign someplace saying it was BPA free. I like this bottle, It is handy to fold it away when packing space and weight is at a premium and when you don't want it leaking all over other stuff.

It's plastic, not really sure whether it's bpa free. We hardly used it. We bought a thermos that stainless inside work better. Hope this help.

I didn't see readily on the box or owner's manual, but googling it shows (on the company website) that it is BPA free.

item came up under search for BPA FREE but it isn't stated anywhere on the product or product package that it is BPA free. I doubt it is and wish I knew as well.

I don't see anything about BPA in the description, may have to contact manufacturer for info not in the amazon listing.
