What material is food directly in contact with?

I do not have one that looks like the one in the picture. The one I have, is all aluminum looking surface. I have never used it even though I bought it years ago.

So far as I can tell, every part that touches the food is aluminum. There is a basket-like metal cage attached to the handle which crushes the fruit into the aluminum container, forcing the juice out through the aluminum spout.

Mineral oil. It arrives with absolutely no moisture. Read up on caring for a bamboo cutting board.

Our packet material is high quality coated paper for food and medication. You can use it safely.

Plastic. But, it is the special non-toxic variety that does not leach any of its properties into your food. I love this thing!

That teflon kind of stuff. The usual. I cover it with baking paper when I use it. But I like Phylis O's answer better. See below. She seems to know more.

Hard to say. Food packaging comes in many forms, cardboard, plastic, metal, etc. I only use it on paper, it does not rub off or smear on paper.

Moist foods should be patted dry with a paper towel.Liquids must be prefrozen. For this I use a sandwich sized lock-top container.Remove from container and vacuum seal.Bill

To answer your question: "I'm concerned about using pthalates with food. Is the mylar in contact with the food stored? What is the composition of the foil liner? Thanks. Pam". Mylar is certified by the FDA for food storage and is used in many of the products we consume daily. I personally do not see a danger in using this product as it is used with dry goods which would limit the amount of absorption of any chemicals present in the bag itself. My food does come in direct contact with the mylar bag. I would describe the consistency of the bag as a thick metalized plastic.

See the Wikipedia article on plastics, which says most plastics leach into food. BPA is just the worst one. Glass would be the best option, if anyone sold it that way anymore.

Something vegetable based but the only way to know for sure is contact the company

I'm not sure I would use around any food, it does have some fiberglass type fibers in it.

As far as I know it has not been FDA approved for direct or indirect food contact, so I wouldn't recommend it. The glue itself is water resistant when dry, but is not designed for immersion, which adds even an additional layer of impracticality. Glues that are FDA compliant for indirect or direct food contact will typically explicitly state that they are in their informational materials, since this is a big deal, and would be a large selling point.

I wouldn't want to trust hardwood pellets around my food unless I could be certain of their contents. I use apple wood chips from a farmer who probably just chipped up all his pruning scraps and bagged them.
