Vorwerk has repeatedly stated that it is completely risk-free to use.  In the consultants' training manual, Vorwerk Engineering makes the official declaration that all materials used in the Thermomix and Varma comply with international consumer safety standards. All "plastic" materials that can come into contact with food during normal cooking procedures have been tested and proven to be safe for eating.

I was under the impression that all polycarbonate—a clear, rigid plastic—contains or leaches BPA; additionally, I am unsure whether polycarbonate is specifically prohibited by European or FDA regulations.

I haven't had the courage to use the varma to steam or cook anything as a result. (Due to the polycarbonate/BPA issue, I've given away everything but my steamer.)Now, some discussions on this are provided for anyone who can read French or German
