Veggie Peeler (larger photo below) from Williams Sonoma; 95% Copper!
Most of the veggie peelers I have tested have been lead-free with the following exceptions (which have often tested positive for lead (and/or cadmium) in my experience):
- Vintage plastic handles
- Vintage rubberized handles
- Vintage metal that is grey and dull (not stainless)
- Vintage painted metal handles
In general always steer clear from vintage cookware (outside of cast iron and pieces marked as being sterling silver or stainless and some clear undecorated vintage glass.). Here are some good choices that I would recommend as #LeadSafe / #LeadFree vegetable peelers:
As always, please feel free to ask questions.

Hello!
This post recommends an OXO peeler, but you have also stated that you avoid OXO products as a rule. Can you please clarify?
Thank you!

I removed the link. It didn’t use to link to an OXO option – Amazon must have substituted the link. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
