Is the plastic this 23-gal 'Genuine Joe' is made from stamped as food-safe (prob. 'LLDPE' or PP#1,2,4 or 5)?

BPA-free plastic. Now remember, you are paying around $15.00 for this item. The glass is high quality but thin. The plastic can take a lot of heat but warps (not the handle). Its a great deal.

Ocean Breeze, I have this newest Snapware Glasslock set (just bought 2 on sale at Costco for $24 each on Friday, 8/31). The # imprinted on the lids (visible under one of the flaps that snap the lid down) is 5. I just looked at my old set(s) (bought at Costco within the last 2-3 years) and they also read "5." I just googled it ("which #'s of plastic are safe/unsafe?") and the first hit indicates that #'s 2,4, & 5 are the safest. Here's the link:http://ecovillagegreen.com/1812/what-are-safe-plastic-numbers-to-use/

One way to avoid BPA in plastics is to avoid purchasing plastics labeled with a number 7 or 3 recycling symbol, as plastics with other recycling numbers do not use BPA in their manufacture. This container has a 5....meaning.... Plastic #5 - PP (Polypropylene).Increasingly becoming accepted by curbside recycle programs, plastic #5 is also one of the safer plastics to look for. I hope this helps you!

There's no indication on the Box about the material used for a container, except a mysterious sign "PT C 230 1P CE" printed on the Box, and repeated (imprinted) on the Can.However, according to Cole's website: "Packaged 100% BPA FREE * All Natural * No Preservatives or Additives".

No. It doesn't say PBA free, but it has the triangle with 5 in the center and PP underneath. From web browsing it is deemed safe. It's also dishwasher/microwave/freezer safe.

It is made from a proprietary, food-safe / pharmaceutical-grade polymer "aka" PETG......DO NOT put them in the dishwasher.....wash by hand. I have had mine for quite some time with almost daily use and they continue to look like new!

Yes, mine is marked as plastic number 5. Which is supposed to be BPA free and safe.

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.
