Is there BPA in your non-stick dehydrator sheets?

The sheets are made of paraflex. The manufacture guarantees that paraflex is BPA free. There has been concern with the paraflex due to its plastic quality, but in the binding process, emilcifocation BPA becomes a non issue. Just like the process of some water bottle manufacturing companies, not all plastics are BPA dangerous.

These are not BPA free. They are NOT paraflex, they are teflon which is reactive, carcinogenic, and illegal to use in cooking in educated countries.

Presto Customer Service just told me (9/8/15) that any surface that touches food (i. e., the trays) is BPA free, but the outer surfaces do contain it.

I would suggest contacting Norpro to be sure but I assume as it is silicone it is bpa free to be food safe.

I don't know either, and packaging is long gone - might not have mentioned there either. While I try to avoid BPA, since I don't store anything in this, or heat it, I am not going to worry too much about it, in this instance.

My cans have a sticker on the top of the can that reads 'No BPA used in can lining'.

Yes, the care & safety instruction sheet states that the containers are BPA free.

No, there is a little plastic as well, which they say is BPA free. I'm sure you can call the company and ask to confirm.

I am not certain but I doubt if these are BPA-free since vendors go out of their way to differentiate that product -- and typically charge more for the option.

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.

I sent an mail to the company and received a response today: "There is no BPA listed in the MSDS (manufacturers safety data sheet)." I hope this helps. It might not be definitive, but at least seems ok.

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.

To be honest I don't recall. But I am a stickler for only buying BPA free products. I would NOT have purchased it otherwise. I would think they would state it on the web page. We love this icecube maker for our sailboat. It is very good quality.

I just received mine and all the pieces have a #7 on them (NOT BPA free). I'm really bummed. Definitely not going to use it.

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?

I would assume it is not. When I called the company they told me "yes"... but I already have the set, so I guess they were just trying to make me happy. It something as important as BPA is not listed on the package... I assume it isn't.
