Are the lids safe to use for baby food? Are they BPA free?

Kerr and Ball are both made by the same company and their lids are BPA free.

Sorry I don't know the answer to that. However these are canning and jelly jars used to preserve foods. All the jars I've used I have not had a problem with. But the last ones I ordered I used to store beads and pins for jewelery so that would not turn or tarnish.

The lids are traditional Kerr Metal canning lids. They where safe for me when I was a kid many years ago and I do not think that they have changed much over the years. We still trust them. I have not heard of BPA plastic being used in the seals. (Don't use the glass jar in the microwave with the metal lid in place!)

Claudia, I cannot attest to these jar lids being BPA-free, however, the following link takes you to the 4 oz Ball jars which apparently DO HAVE the new BPA-free lids. I found the BPA-free answer under one of the questions specifically asking if the lids were BPA-free for canning baby food. I hope this helps. :) Ball Jar Crystal Jelly Jars with Lids and Bands, Quilted, 4-Ounce, Set of 12

Sorry, I checked the lids and don't know what the new liners are made with. Try to contract the manufacturer.

I don't know weather they are BPA free, there made in Europe. There very small so the couldn't contain much.

I don't believe these are BPA free but I'm not 100% sure. I bought them as party favors for my kids birthday party and they're cute but certainly made of flimsy plastic

Sorry, I'm not sure. My lids have no markings on them at all and I don't do too much with the lids as I don't keep the lid on when I reheat baby's food and I don't really use it for any other purpose.

Yes! I store baby food in them all the time and can keep them in the freezer for up to 2 months. The lids click on nicely.

I'm not sure, but it's bpa free plastic and they've been working really well for me. Large containers!

They're very thin - so even if you could I wouldn't advise it, they'd probably warp. Plus plastic leaches into food when it comes into contact with heat (remember, don't drink water from a plastic bottle that's been left in your car)... and even things that are BPA Free still have toxic chemicals... so I'd stick with using a glass or ceramic container. These are great for serving snacks in or storing small amounts of food in.

Hi Lynda They are plastic on one side. As for bpa free for side that touches baby not sure.

Yes, it says "BPA free" on the bottom. The shape is great for fitting into lunchboxes. I really like these!

lids and rubber sealing rings are bpa free. they work very well when pressure canning or water bath canning. they should work well when fermenting, but just snug down on the lids. over tightening is the major cause of failure when using these lids and rings.

Lids are made from BPA-free polypropylene and have a silicone seal. Ideal situation, of course, would be no plastic. But as long as the food rests safely in the glass portion, it's about as good as it gets. Wean Greens and Glasslocks are simply awesome!

Can't tell for sure, if the lid is BPA free. Concerning question 2: I recommend buying 2 silver because the colored ones can not be cleaned in the dish washer.

Yes. I have found these containers to be leak proof. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much food they can hold. So far, they have held up nicely, and I use them frequently.

Yes they are. They are also BPA free and top rack dishwasher safe. We love the lids with an opening for a straw.

They are advertised as being BPA free. Personally, I'm not worried about the lids. So long as you don't fill them 100% full, it's fine.

In the detailed description it states BPA Free. I don't imagine any reputable baby product retailer could not be.

It does not say on the product that they are bpa free and I no longer have the box. I went to the rubbermaid site and this along with many other products ARE bpa free.
