It is my understanding that the red part is silicone (not silicon, though that is an element of silicone). To find out for sure about BPA, I would contact the company. They have a web site: http://www.tovolo.com. I hope this puts you on the right track. Happy cooking!

As far as I can tell, it is 100% silicone. I have used it for molding custards and it works well, very flexible and easy to get the custards out intact.

This is a high quality silicon I think, it fits excellantly and so far no issues with it. Hope this helps. We reccomend it.

Tanka, that's correct, silicone is BPA-free as are food-contact products from Glad, Ziploc (SC Johnson), NordicWare, and other brands that a simple/quick search will find.

I would presume it is not if it does not specifiy. Shame on the seller/manufacturer, all should be BPA free by now.

I am actually not sure. I use it for making soap so I did not look into it. So, my guess is its BPA free since most things are these days. Sorry I couldn't help more.

According to the manufacturer it is BPA free but they don't mention anything about silicone.

I was wondering the same thins. So, I looked it up on Progressive International's web site. That web site says that it is BPA free.

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!

This is Fred, the maker of this product. It is 100% virgin silicone and meets US FDA food-contact safety standards. It does not contain BPA. For the record, I personally have never seen BPA used in a silicone product. BPA first came to light as an ingredient in polycarbonate (PC) plastic, which was often sued for rigid plastic containers like water bottles and food storage containers.

No, it does not. BPA is a component of plastic, not silicone. Silicone is NOT plastic.

Hi Linnie - it's BPA plastic. The colored part is plastic, also, but it has a thin top lining of a material that I always thought was silicone, but another poster (Blurose) says it's not silicone. It feels soft and rubbery like silicone, though. I really love them. No problems at all, no safety issues for me.

I can't be 100 % sure because I've picked up bits of info online, but it says that it is bpa free.. now I have to go check further.

I believe it is silicone, but I like it much better than Silat. It is as thin as paper, but reusable and much more slippery

It says made in China on the box. All 100% silicone products do not have BPA. You can only find BPA in plastics. BPA is a chemical they put into plastics when trying to make it soft (e.g. baby bottle nipple). Silicone is naturally flexible, so it does not need it. That's why silicone is so popular.

The package I have does not say BPA free. Only high grade silicone. The age requirement is 3+.
