Does Silicone Contain BPA?

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical that is often used to make plastic containers and bottles. It is found to have harmful effects on the human body since it can interfere with our hormones and cause brain and behavioral issues. It can also cause cancer, heart disorders, ADHD, obesity, and diabetes.

Fortunately, pure silicone does not contain BPA. However, poorly made silicone bakeware and utensils that have fillers in them might contain BPA.
