Does the silicone contain BPA???

I was under the impression that BPA was only a component of hard plastic products. Since the steamer is very soft and flexible, I would guess there in no BPA in it, but I don't know for sure.

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

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.

I do not think so. Being BPA free was not in the description for the product.

Does not say it contains silicone, which would be a selling point if you ask me. It does say: no petroleum distillates, contains mineral oil, and liquefied petroleum gas. Other than that the container really doesn't reveal what they are using. Weird.

I don't know. But I did read some reviews - not on Amazon - where people said it did contain silicone.

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.

I have no idea if it contains BPA, was not a concern for me. I guess ask the company??

It does not say "BPA-Free", so it is not. However, it specifies as "made from 100% FDA approved materials"l.

I looked at the package, and it says "Made from food grade silicone." It doesn't list any other materials, so I assume that's the only ingredient. Hope that helps!

Yes. The whole entire thing is silicone. It's quite flexible but maintains its shape well. Though I've not used it extensively, some silicone items I have do start to lose their shape with frequent use.

The packaging does not say BPA free, but it does say that it is 100% FDA grade silicone.

Yes. It's definitely BPA free. I just saw the other reply. Edit: I could have sworn it was labeled BPA free. Sorry. I see from the website that they used to be labelled BPA free but removed it and are working on the issue. They also offer it in glass jars, which I prefer.

Silicone does not contain BPA, PVC or Pthalates. Silicone is a synthetic rubber that is elementally different. It is the hard plastic handle part does not say for sure that it is BPA free. It does say it is dishwasher safe which means it can withstand high temp. http://www.hhs.gov/safety/bpa/

Hello Stephen; I honestly can't tell you. But if I had a question about plastics containing BPA I'd probably not purchase them. If you could contact the manufacturer he should be able to give a definitive answer. Sorry I can't help you.

I have learned that this product is BPA free and is 100% silicone without any fibreglass. Good question Jem

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.

Mine has a rubber gasket. Not sure why you would need silicone unless they forgot the gasket.
