Do these sheets contain bpa or teflon?

teflon was what is on the packaging. i have had no problems with it in making fruit roll-ups or yogurt fruit wraps. no bad smells or chemical taste with it. great product for a good price.

Kari, I found this information from various sites on the web. "Aug 31st, 2009 at 11:09 am We have contacted our vendor and here's the scoop. The premium paraflex sheets are made of pure Teflon (which is very soft by itself) and is reinforced with fiber. The vendor claims that the Teflon will not come off on the dried food. They do say not to use an abrasive cleaner that will scratch the Teflon. It is very easy to clean since food doesn't stick to it. Just use a sponge and soapy water and rinse. They also say that you shouldn't soak the sheets in water because they will absorb water and expand and will need to be dried out before using them in the dehydrator. Soaking them will also shorten their lifespan." Another web site has this to say, "Please note that "Paraflexx" is the brand name of the food drying sheets. The only non-Teflon sheet made by Paraflexx is the Paraflexx "Ultra" Food Drying Sheet, which is orange in color. Not all "Paraflexx" sheets are non Teflon. Paraflexx also makes a Paraflexx "Premium" Sheet, which is brown in color on both sides with a Telfon surface. To protect your health, the Paraflexx Ultra Food Drying Sheet is non-Teflon. Other food drying sheets such as Teflex sheets, Paraflexx Premium Sheets and other generic food drying sheets are Teflon coated. The only reusable food drying sheet on the market that is not Teflon coated is the Paraflexx "Ultra" Food Drying Sheet." The only dehydrator sheet that claims to be both teflon and BPA free is made by Sedona dehydrator. To find out more about BPA refer to: http://www.bisphenol-a.org/about/faq.html?gclid=CKzazsbD67UCFeZFMgodOW8Adg#a From Wikipedia, "A 2010 report from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned of possible hazards to fetuses, infants, and young children.[2] In September 2010, Canada became the first country to declare BPA a toxic substance.[3][4] The European Union, Canada, and recently the United States have banned BPA use in baby bottles.[5]"

I am assuming they are made of some sort of plastic, but on the outside of the box they came in was a sign that said no BPA. Hope this helps.

They are BPA free, according to the Product Description (next to the last paragraph).

As far as I know only if they are medela brand. They sell them, but they are hard to find. If you end up having to use the plastic ones they at least are BPA free.

I cannot tell you definitively - one would have to look on the packaging which in my case is long gone. I do not recall any specific mention of teflon in the product description, however.

Yes; they are made of silicone, not plastic (BPA is typically found in plastics, as coating in cans and on certain papers...like receipts with a glossy side). Not sure what they used for coloring the silicone, but I imagine it's pretty safe.

The roll sheets are a high grade, BPA-free rather heavy (yet slightly flexible) plastic. They can be reused as many times as you wish, provided you keep them in good shape with regular washing. I would recommend, from experience, hand washing the sheets and making sure there is no residue so that your food products do not stick.

They appear to be a #7 plastic, which according to the internet is a catch-all category which makes it difficult to know exactly what the composition is. BPA, etc, can not be ruled out from this category of plastics. I wish I had asked the same question. Otherwise the quality is very good.

Hi. I bought these, in part, because the description online for this item said that they were BPA free, so I assume that's correct. Beyond that, I don't know. I usually rip off the packaging and toss it.

No, the sheets are polyester. They feel nice, different from cotton though.

As far as I know, it is Teflon. I don't have the packaging information anymore, so I can't say for sure. Sorry.

They are BPA free plastic and very sturdy... I've dropped mine several times lol. They are easy to clean and haven't leaked yet. I hand wash them.

No, these plastic sheets are to act as a cutting board. Try heavy-duty cardboard.

They are thin sheets of Teflon. I have had thicker sheets before but these work just fine for me. I use them in art projects and nothing sticks. Some colors stain them a little but that does not bother me.

That is a good question to raise with Rubbermaid. I don't recall a product specification sheet being part of the packaging. Since I use the spatula only occasionally, mostly with room temperature batter, I was not concerned about the possible presence of BPA in the handle.

yes they are bpa free. I actually did do microwave sterilization with them.

That's what I received as well. Not sure if it is BPA free. I'm hesitated to use them.
