Is BPA in Brita pitchers?
Does anyone know if they are BPA-free? They seem to be of the same polycarbonate type of material that has BPA in so many other things, I just want to make sure.
Re: Is BPA in Brita pitchers?
A reply from Brita I found on someone's blog who had asked the company the same thing.
Dear Ms. Eisenberg,Thank you for contacting us.
The pitcher lids and filter housings are made of Polypropylene plastic. The reservoirs and pitchers are made either from NAS (a Styrene based plastic) or SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile). The soft-touch handles are made from an elastomer called Santoprene (not to be confused with Latex or Neoprene). Our products do not contain any bisphenol A and are all tested by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) for safety and wetted contact. Unfortunately the pitcher materials are not recyclable, and therefore do not have a plastic number. Please contact us at any time if you have additional questions.
Again, thank you for contacting us.
Sincerely,
