I wrote Kitchen Aid regardingthe location of the manufacture of their
850 Proline Processor.
Response:

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for visiting the KitchenAid website!
Our records indicate that the Pro Line Food Processor is manufactured
by Whirlpool Corporation in China.
There has been much coverage in the media recently on the recalls of
Chinese-made products due to lead content in the paint. The U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) regulate all food-contact containers.

tested to ensure that they meet US food safety guidelines. Please know
that you can be confident that we are committed to the safety and well-
being of our consumers, and that consumer health and safety is our

All KitchenAid products comply with the safety standards of the U.S.

So I purchased the Magimix 4200XL from Williams-Sonoma, $200 more than
the Kitchen Aid, but I am so tired of once great American products now
manufactured by the Chinese....
