Are the trays BPA-free?

Dear alarmist consumers. BPA is primarily found in HARD, CLEAR plastics. This product is not hard. It is not clear. There is probably more contamination already present on the food you are drying, than from the product. If you touch this product, you are probably contaminating it because you are more contaminated than it is. If you breathe in its direction you are probably contaminating it more. By merely viewing the product listing on amazon you are contaminating it. lol. Please educate yourself then you can ask educated questions.

Couldn't find any info to say yes or no to your question. Owners manual has a customer service number which wold probably answer your question. Number is 800-288-4545.

Wow! That is the quickest response I've ever had from any company! Nesco states in the e-mail that: "all of our current models and accessories are BPA free". They should really print that info on the product packaging so people can see it.

My unit is at least 8 years old so I doubt that anything on it is BPA free. I don't know about the newer made models however, I did e-mail the company and am waiting for an answer. I rarely use the trays as is when dehydrating, I usually line them with parchment paper I've cut to fit. I'm also considering a greener approach by using silicone baking sheets that I can cut to size/shape, since they will be cleanable/reusable. When I hear back from Nesco, I will post their response.

According to the information on the Rubbermaid website, their ice cube trays are BPA free.

I never looked, but I would guess they are as most plastic baby things now are BPA-free. My baby has put them in their mouth. If you're uncomfortable with them you could easily switch out the toys for other things. I've done that to add variety and simply change his "scenery".

Hi Kate,Good question.... There is nothing on the packaging stating BPA free so I would assume that the product is not.Usually companies will make the BPA free statement on their packaging as a selling point and if it's not marked that way, I would have to assume that it is not BPA free.Something I should have thought of when buying the product!However, the trays work remarkably well and are easy to use. Yield a lot of sprouts and are not that messy.Sherri

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

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.

Yes, according to product description published elsewhere - and Rubbermaid site states "bases and lids" are bpa free.

I have never seen it claimed anywhere that they are BPA-free so I doubt it.

I don't know what bpa is, but this tray is certainly not free. It's around ten bucks, give or take. Hope that helps.

I don't believe so. I'm pretty sure they're made of polypropylene only. There was no mention of BPA at the time of my purchase. I would definitely check with the seller to be 100% certain though. Good luck! :)

I do recall. I love them though. I used them with my daughter as well. I know they're BPA free and dishwasher safe. Try calling the company?

Hi. Yes they are dishwasher safe (top shelf). Not sure about BPA free though.

I don't have the packaging any more so I can't say for certain if it said BPA free, but the way I understand it BPA is a plastic based issue and these mats are food grade silicone, not plastic.

Yes they are. There is a small pamphlet in the bottom of the box which states the lids are BPA free.

I don't remember if they are bpa free. What I can tell you is that your food should be about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch below the plastic parts. They shouldn't touch.
