Is this BPA free? I want to use it for making baby food but need to ensure it's BPA free.

Yes, this steamer is BPA free according to it's website. Also, the steamer is stainless steel and the only plastic is on the very bottom. No plastic exists anywhere near the steam that would cause it to leach into food. I'd say this is the only stainless steel steamer on the market.

I actually called the manufacturer and they said that the plastic cap is BPA-free too. The rest of the steamer that comes in contact with water or food is stainless steel. That said they just came out with a new CERAMIC heater cap that can be purchased separately here on Amazon. I am hoping they will eventually include it in the steamer package for new customers instead of making them buy it additionally. Overall, this steamer is, I think, the best in the market. I used it for baby food too, and loved it!

Yes. Not only that, it's stainless steel which is rare for steamers, love it !

Yes it is, according to the user manual. That is just for the only plastic part that is a cap, and is not actually necessary; it is just for increased performance. Everything else is stainless steel.

I looked at ours and it does not say "bpa free" anywhere on the bottle or the lid, so apparently its not.

I just chatted with an Amazon customer service rep who checked their internal catalogs to confirm that IT IS BPA FREE! Hope this helps.

It doesn't matter if the plastic is BPA free or not. The chemical that BPA replaced was toxic & whatever the chemical used to replace BPA will also be toxic. Using petroleum based plastic in food products is not very smart, unless you like consuming carcinogens�

I contacted the manufacturer, and they said that it was without BPA, but you know how THAT goes. They indicated that ALL of their "food handling/prep. items were without BPA...

I can't be 100 % sure because I've picked up bits of info online, but it says that it is bpa free.. now I have to go check further.

It is plastic but I am not sure about BPA free. I think I bought it before there was a concern about the BPA. I don't use it much but it is a very nice one and the motor will never burn up in home use like the cheaper ones.

They don't tell you but being white instead of clear the odds are high that it is not BPA. The BPA would only be a problem if you process acidic foods like tomato based products. Meats and pasta would be non reactive.

I'm not 100% sure. I don't think it is bpa free, do not recall seeing any 'bpa free' statement on the packaging. Here's the brand website if you'll like to verify with the manufacturer: http://www.kidsii.com/brightstarts/ . In terms of play value, I highly recommend it. My nephew started playing with it from around 7 months, and we think it helps develop his motor skills (hand motions). We also started teaching him not to put things into his mouth from around 4 months old, and were very cautious about not letting him teeth on anything other than his pacifier and specific teething toys.

BPA is a concern in clear plastics. The container for hot food has a metal interior, the smaller ones are plastic that is unspecified.

Hello Sherry D. The packaging states that the item is BPA free. Thanks for your inquiry, Julie

Sorry, I really don't know other than it is BPA free. You might want to contact the company.

I highly doubt that this is BPA free. It says "Made in China" on the bottom. Also, just because it says "BPA Free" doesn't mean it's actually safe. See this article: http://ow.ly/waO4d

When I searched BPA free and collapsible this model showed up... I assume that means it is BPA Free but I think I will call the manufacturer to confirm before I buy it

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.
