Are there any plastic parts to this juicer and if so are they BPA Free?

All parts that contact food are stainless steel. Great upgrade from my first all plastic pos.

Actually I do not know... But, why are you drinking juices if you can drink water (0 cal) and have the whole fruit? Juices have extra calories you don't really need if you have a balanced and healthy diet

there is plastic where the part that sits on the orange and press's down is. I don't use it I use my hand. Love this juicer but a piece has already broke off after 1 year of use but it still functions fine.

Yes, it is plastic & BPA free. I would like it better if it were glass but it works well.

I just got an email from Oster's customer service (Jarden Consumer Solutions) that this unit does not use a BPA-free plastic but it is within the US Food and Drug Admin's regulations. I was bummed. I will continue my search for my next steamer.

yes they are plastic, but not sure about BPA free, I'd contact manufacturer for reassurance on that.It's a REALLY nice kit!

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.

I checked the instructions that came with the filter and could not find anything that stated the plastic caps were BPA free. You may want to contact the manufacturer at forever@peani.com. I didn't see anything on their website either (forever.peani.com).

I just looked at mine. The plastic is not marked "BPA free" so it is my best guess that it is NOT BPA free. Hope this helps. BTY -ours is working fine and had it 4 months without a problem.

I looked at the box and it doesn't mention if it is bpa free or not. Maybe the reynolds web site will mention something regarding this.

I'm uncertain as I discarded the packaging. But I recall checking to see if there is BPA and as far as I can remember they are BPA free. The plastic is pretty rigid with solid colors - nothing clear. Perhaps someone with packaging can answer for certain.

From what I could find, it should be BPA Free. I've really loved this juicer. Only downside is that the instructions that came with the product were what I felt somewhat incomplete and I never got a response back from their customer service. I wash everything by hand and choose not to put items in dishwasher after the white push thing sorta warped from the hot water in the dishwasher. It says items are dishwasher safe but not specially what needs to be on top rack.

The Plastic components are like the lid and parts of the tea basket. They're all sturdy and I would have to assume they're BPA free, A) This is a premium product and B) Since it heats the plastic parts I doubt they would use any plastic that releases noxious chemicals. This is a wonderful tea maker and I love showing it off to people. Everyone loves it and loves watching it work. It's been nothing but great to me. Everything seems sturdy and has lasted fairly light use since I got it late in the cool season last year and is going to be getting a real test this coming cool season.

They are glass bottles. Yes, sprayer and tube are plastic. Not sure about bpa free. I use coconut oil in them and they are fine.

I just talked with customer service on the phone, and she told me that they are BPA-free. They're made of polypropylene plastic.
