#XRFTesting: Lead Free Williams Sonoma Veggie Peeler

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:

• The classic veggie peeler!
• A solid handle version.

As always, please feel free to ask questions.

Sharing this information in turn helps families everywhere protect their children from potential environmental toxicity in their homes. I only link to products that are the same as (or very similar to) ones that I either have direct personal experience with in my home or that I have personally tested with an XRF Instrument and found to be lead-safe or lead-free. February 2017
