Are these containers BPA-free? What plastics code is on the bottom?

The packaging says that it is BPA- free. The only code on the bottom is HDPE 2.

Yes, the plastic is BPA free. The written material with the product clearly states that. Take a look at the manufacturer's website.

I am not sure if the lids are BPA free. I bought them as a gift for someone. I never opened the box.

Sure! These are made of clear plastic. They are thicker & more durable than the containers I have gotten from the supermarket deli. They are microwave safe & the recycle # at the bottom is "5". The manufacturer does not advertise them as BPA safe, so I assume that they not. Hope that helps!

There is no number inside of the recycle symbol on the bottom of these bottles. It is blank, and simply states BPA free below the symbol.

I returned them (color not as depicted in photos, and the vendor was unable to answer my questions about possible BPA content or where the jugs were made), so cannot answer your question about what the plastic/recycle number is.

Rather than comment on whether my container is BPA free I suggest determining whether your container is BPA free. You never know when or if they may switch materials. You can check this by looking for the number inside the recycle triangle. A "7" inside the recycle triangle indicates that the plastic is not BPA free - but not all "7"s contain BPA. A "2","4" or "5" in the triangle indicates it is BPA free and the safest. Your best bet is to ask the mfg'r. Mine is BPA free. To say it is food grade and therefore safe is a bit misleading. Plastics 1 through 7 are all used with food and so are food grade. However, like "7", some have cautions regarding use. Mine is BPA free.

I know they are BPA free plastic, I don't know if it's this specific kind you mentioned.

The container is some form of polycarbonate (no symbol) as far as I know. NSF but not sure if it is BPA free or not. I don't recall seeing anything mentioning it.

It is hard plastic, with no coating. I don't know if it is BPA free or not. I don't ever heat the containers up.

April I cannot say it is for sure. But I have emailed the seller and will post their response when I get it. **Update** I received a response from WFN and the container is BPA free!!

They are BPA free, I didn't even have to look at the containers, I just did a google search and in 20 seconds found out from the rubbermaid site that they are BPA free, I believe all Rubbermaid food products are.

Definitely not airtight. Don't remember where they were made or if plastic is BPA free. Sorry I couldn't help you out more.
