Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical that is used primarily in the manufacture of polycarbonate (PC) raw material plastic. PC is a plastic that is often used in mouldings for food packaging; for example in drinks bottles.We do not use polycarbonate in the manufacture of any parts which come into contact with food, and we will not release a product for sale unless tests show that NO BPA is detected.
