Per the manufacturer: The Hedpak is FDA compliant. FDA compliant means that products are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, but that they comply with the regulations as stated in the appropriate CFR's (Code of Federal Regulations).

It does not say food grade so I would assume not. I would not breath it in, ingest it or allow pets to step in it.

Plastic. But, it is the special non-toxic variety that does not leach any of its properties into your food. I love this thing!

Food grade plastic. Don't think you'll have any issues there. Have dried multiple fruits and veggies and haven't noticed anything that would make me wary of them.

If the reason for the question is expected durability, this thing is built like a tank. The feeder tube and other components are indeed plastic. I haven't taken it apart to learn the inside. You certainly would not regret your purchase. We absolutely love it ... in fact we have 2 ... one for each of our homes.

I really don't know what it's made of! It is comfortable in my hand and of course it does not touch the food, but I can understand if you do not want to buy any product with BPA. I suggest emailing OXO. They should be able to answer your question.

No, it's just white plastic. It's made to look like porcelain. The quality if fairly good.

It does not appear to be. Seems to be made of a hard dull black synthetic plastic or hard rubber.

Yes, this is 100% food grade silicone but it is not 100% silicone. Please read FAQ for an explanation by the manufacturer of our silicone products. Sorry for answering your question late. I just came back from vacation and I did not have access to my computer while I was away.

It is a plastic. However it is better made than the rectangular containers which do tend to crack. So far I have had not any problems after three month of heavy use.

Ours was not labeled as food grade. However it is a decent plastic. We've washed ours and use it for dry foods. We're not experts but believe it is generally safe to use this funnel for food as long as the food is not hot which might cause the plastic to release potentially dangerous chemicals.

Yes, it is made of plastic, but seems stong and is holding up well. Hope this helps.

I don't have a direct answer. I am not sure if it is food-grade, but it does seem quite thick - like a thick plastic drop-cloth - and much thicker than even a contractor's grade garbage bag. It's not too "crinkly" when the baby moves around on it. I put two large receiving blankets under the sheet and use a poplin sheet, and we barely notice that it is there. Hope this helps.

yes unfortunately it is plastic. It does seem durable and I've had no problems with it for the 6 or so months I've had it.

It is made of plastic but I am not sure if it's recycled. Also, I am not sure if it is food grade because I am just using it for a houseplant. Sorry I could not be of more assistance.

According to the details listed on Amazon: "Made From United States Food and Drug Administration Approved Plastic That's Safe for Food and Water Contact." Hope this helps!
