A member asked:

I notice my blender for making baby puree has got some scratches inside. should i worry about scratched off plastic getting into the baby food?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

To be safe.....: try to use a blender vessel made of glass. Some plastics, especially older ones, may contain BPAs.
