Yes, I believe so. The info I found stated that all plastic rings and spigots are BPA free.

Though I am uncertain I have the right dispenser( we have acquired several), The spigot is a flexible plastic, I think... JMK

Both the lid and the jar are glass. The spigot is metal and feels well made. Saw no leaks when we used it!

I think it was aluminum but don't remember. I returned it as spigot leaked.

Don't know about the BPA. Fittings are brass and seem very sturdy. It is approved for use with potable water.

I wish it was, but as it came out long before the BPA news, I doubt it is. I really wish Oster would make a BPA-free updated version of this, because I loved mine! ... for now, it's glass Ball jars. Don't fit well in a cupholder, but less potentially toxic.

Yes. It is plastic. But I'm hoping that it is BPA free. Maybe you should check with Brita to be certain. But overall, I like it. Water taste great and no chlorine taste. Just follow the directions when adding/changing filters

The lid is metal but the spigot is plastic. I have not had any trouble with the spigot but I did break one of the glass jars by pouring hot tea directly into the jar. Really cool old school dispenser!

Yes, according to The Sprout House website, the yellow plastic sprouting lid is BPA free.

Chris, Yes it is BPA free; we have two of these and use them daily; no issues with leaks, off taste or any thing along those lines. The only thing you need to be aware of is that you have to leave the cap loose while it is in use to allow air to get in as the water is being dispensed.

No mention on the packaging about BPA content, but it does say it is drinking water safe. Fittings are not heavy brass, but brass-colored stamped metal.

Yes. Our spigot is lead FREE. Lead is NOT an ingredient for stainless steel, unlike brass.

The spigot is plastic. I wouldn't use it on the next 1 that I purchase. I'll just connect a short hose and shut off valve to the drain spout at the lowest practical place. That allows me to take advantage of water pressure. The spigot is useless for me. Otherwise it's a great product.

Yes. The only non plastic part is the metal screen and the inner glass layer. The cap (two parts) are made of plastic and there are rubber rings too. I have deemed the product acceptable for my personal anti-BPA standards. After nearly a year of constant use, the plastic cap still weighs the "same" so if it is degrading into my drinks, then it is happening at less than one part per billion over a year.

Yes it is plastic and SproutPeople.org says that it is BPA free on their website.

Yes it is BPA free, I called and they said all their plastics were BPA free. The tip drips sometimes so I leave it standing when not using it.
