Cuisinart customer service representatives told ZRecs that the hard, clear plastic bowls and lids of this item is made with polypropylene, but the company's public relations department refused to confirm this, told us that the customer service department "shouldn't have said that," and would not state whether the products contain BPA. The bowls and lids of this product, while unlabeled, appear to be made of BPA-containing polycarbonate plastic; this would be consistent with Cuisinart's larger food processers, many of which are labeled as being made of Lexan (a brand-name polycarbonate).
