I believe it's made in China. There is a very small amount of plastic at the point where the water gauge / level resides. You can see it on the picture-- it is right at the handle where it contacts the vessel. There is also a small plastic removable filter the water passes through as it pours from the vessel it could be removed and used without thefilter. So the water gauge and removable filter are the only plastic involved that contacts the water.

The label on the bottom says it is made in China. I have no idea about the BPA part. It works great and looks great though.

Because the body is made of stainless steel, I think that it is BPA free. The pedestal and plastic handles - certainly have. And "Made in China"...

The product is manufactured in China. There are a few plastic parts in the kettle, but can't say if it is BPA free.

I ordered this a while back and I don't remember so I went to their website and the company's description says it is BPA free.

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 .

I love this product, but unfortunately it is not labeled BPA-free. It is only labeled "made in the USA" on the bottom of the pot, so that is no guarantee about BPA. Even the Pampered Chef website does not say. If it is very important to you, I would stick to using glass containers or look elsewhere.

Why don't they specify it on the package or on the bottle itself? I guess the answer is no, it's not BPA free. My friend also gave me a similar one that was made in Japan. "BPA free" is specified on that bottle.

Not sure about the made in the USA part. But from what I have researched I believe YES it is BPA free.

It does not specifically say on the box. It does say "BPA Free' and it is product of Polyvinyl Films Inc of Sutton MA. Made in the USA.

It is made in China, and there is no indication at to whether or not it is BPA free. There is no after taste when I have used it to make tea.

Probably not BPA free, it was made in Asia, not sure which country but all the writing was Asian. But very cute and keeps food nicely

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.

Well, I looked but could not see. However since it is a lifetime warranty and BPA free almost certainly is made in USA. I know no lifetime guarantees from anything made overseas. Hope this helps. It is a good quality item.

It's made of some kind of plastic. I don't not if it's BPA free or not. If it isn't I am going to throw it away.

The packaging does NOT indicate BPA free. But I am glad you asked the question. Like you, I will attempt to find out before making further purchases.

You bring up a good point. Though I didn't read the box/packaging, there's not even any imprint on the product except "Made in Thailand". I don't know FOR SURE that it's BPA free.

The product is made of food-grade stainless steel made in China, I do not know if it carries FDA approval. I do not believe BPA is an issue with stainless steel products, it is more of an additive that is used in the production of plastic containers or items.

I have the same question. I googled "Breville BSB510XL made in china", and come to the conclusion that it's made in China and uses BPA free plastic.
