Does this product contain BPA (Bisphenol A) or does it display #7?

This is difficult to answer for sure, but I don't think the resins used in this would contain BPA. First is the mesh part of the strainer, which is supposed to be Nylon (probably Nylon 6). Then the surrounding structure and handle appear to be either polypropylene or polyethylene (no #7 recycling symbol or other symbol is molded into mine). To my knowledge, none of these three resins are associated with BPA, which is more commonly found in polycarbonate (and maybe polystyrene) resins.

The nylon strainer does not have any markings at all and I do not have the packaging. I use it for straining kefir,

What plastic exactly? It mentions BPA free, but are there any other bisphenols used? BPS, perhaps? Where can we get the exact list of chemicals? Any certifications from a European consumer safety authority?

I contacted the company and this is their response: "Our bottles and packaging are free from BPA and BPS, phthalates and other hormone disrupters. We have no such ingredients in our products either." Sorry it took so long.

Sorry I can't help you. I didn't keep packaging. I did just take a look at the beaker, but I see no markings on it to indicate if it's bpa free or not.

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

I really don't know if there is any Bisphenol A (BPA) in this product. However, one source that I found states: "If people and dogs have been exposed to BPA for the past 60 years without noticeable ill effects, then there is no need to worry about BPA in canned dog food until BPA is 100 percent linked to illnesses in dogs." HOWEVER, there are also other sources that 'speculate' that it may be harmful. If the manufacturer won't tell you then use your best judgment. As for me, I will allow my dog to continue using the bowl as I have seen no evidence of negative effects in this product after about 3 years.

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 .

To be honest I don't recall. But I am a stickler for only buying BPA free products. I would NOT have purchased it otherwise. I would think they would state it on the web page. We love this icecube maker for our sailboat. It is very good quality.

According to their website, it is BPA-free... most of their products are, and if they are not, they mention it. It's a great product, I highly recommend!

Rather than comment on whether my container is BPA free I suggest determining whether your container is BPA free. You never know when or if they may switch materials. You can check this by looking for the number inside the recycle triangle. A "7" inside the recycle triangle indicates that the plastic is not BPA free - but not all "7"s contain BPA. A "2","4" or "5" in the triangle indicates it is BPA free and the safest. Your best bet is to ask the mfg'r. Mine is BPA free. To say it is food grade and therefore safe is a bit misleading. Plastics 1 through 7 are all used with food and so are food grade. However, like "7", some have cautions regarding use. Mine is BPA free.

I checked the OEM's packaging box. It does not mention anything related to the product being "BPA free". The phone number listed is: 877.310.9102. You might want to give them a call to confirm.If you are considering health risk factors you might want to look at the world wide reported findings from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A

I checked, and I cant find anywhere where it says BPA free, so Im going to assume its not BPA free.

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 :)
