Hello...that is a good question. I don't know. It states on the side that it is heat resistant, machine washable, made in NZ. I would ask the company. I love it and use it all the time. On the bottom it has the 5 plastic. I hope it is BPA free because it gets hot.

Yes Amanda, all EasiYio parts are BPA and hormone free. Meets requirements for all countries. Info can be found under questions asked at EasiYo website

The packaging said it is food grade polyproplene. I think if you wanted a straight sided glass jar with lid (like would be used for canning) could be used inside were the actual yogurt is being produced. And they do make some of the lids for these in a plastic so as not to have,a metal canning lid. Best suggestion I can give you.

Yes. All plastic parts of H2gO are made from ABS and PET plastic, which are BPA free. Customer Support, New Century Innovations (NCI)

It is plastic. It does not say if it is BPA free. However they have a website you can go to. It is www.tanglecreations.com. And www.tangletheraphy.com.

Can confirm that the plastics used are BPA free. I just chatted with KitchenAid and they confirmed its BPA free and that there are minimal amounts of plastics in the device

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!

You mean BPA. I called OXO and they said it is a newer type of plastic called Tritan, made by Eastman. While supposedly BPA free and safe, there is some question about that if you do a web search on Tritan (I wonder if any plastic is safe these days).

I don't know if it is BPA free but it is an entirely plastic spigot. There is a rubber piece in between the glass jar and the plastic spigot.

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.

First off, I want to make sure you are looking at the ball and not the ball and pitcher... The ball is made of plastic and I am not sure if it is BPA free, I have had this ball for a while. I do put the ball on the top rack of my dishwasher...

The original package was in Japanese so I have no idea. I bought it before I knew about the risks of BPA.

Source uses a co-extruded polyethylene film in this product. It is BPA and phthalate free.

I was under the impression that BPA was only a component of hard plastic products. Since the steamer is very soft and flexible, I would guess there in no BPA in it, but I don't know for sure.

Part of the pump is plastic. I have no ideal on the BPA. I do know this is a heavy duty item. I had a cheaper one from Sams That cost about $20.00 that broke in a few months. It had a glass in side this one does not.
