do 3 inner containers contain BPA? I know the stainless parts don't, but no where says it.

I believe that they are all BPA free. I can't remember where I saw that, but I don't buy anything that isn't BPA free...

These bowls are stainless steel and not made out of plastic, so yes, they must be BPA free.. Now as to the lids which are indeed plastic, from my best guess, they probably do contain BPA - but since they don't touch what's inside, this may not be an issue

I would assume it is not. When I called the company they told me "yes"... but I already have the set, so I guess they were just trying to make me happy. It something as important as BPA is not listed on the package... I assume it isn't.

I don't know if it is BPA free, but the recycle sign (triangle) on the bottom has a 1 in it. According to Mayo Clinic, plastics marked with 3 - 7 are NOT BPA free. However, since this container is a 1 then my assumption would be that it is BPA free. The top does not have a lock. I use the container in the processing of a skin product I make, I do not use it for consumables.

No, I couldn't see any. I was concerned about BPA but the seeds/sprouts don't really touch the plastic except when being rinsed, and I was told that the metal ones rust. Have you found any stainless steel lids? Those would be perfect but might be relatively expensive.

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.

I just received mine and all the pieces have a #7 on them (NOT BPA free). I'm really bummed. Definitely not going to use it.

Hmm...plastic container and rubbery top seem pretty solid; however, I don't know if is BPA free. Might need to find out from manufacturer.

There has never been BPA in the cans, and the lids, it was projected that by this year there would be none in the lids. The vast majority of last years lids were BPA free

Maybe they've fixed this already, because I can't find anything about 3 pieces in the details or description. But yes, there are 3 containers and 3 matching lids.

People, quit asking this question. BPA is never an opaque plastic in food containers or appliances. It is (was) only used for transparent, glass-like plastic structures, containers, or can liners.The same answer will apply the next time you ask about another product that obviously doesn't have BPA.

Hi, thank you for reaching out! You can be sure they are certified BPA free. On the LittleBigBox's box we printed a small icon that says so, and we'll be including more information on the inner labels to make it clearer for our customers that our products are safe for storing and heating food. We believe in ethics and honesty and wouldn't advertise characteristics that we cannot backup or that are untrue and specially harmful for our customers. I hope I've been able to answer your question and feel free to reach out again in case you have any other doubts or comments!Thank you

IRIS does make some BPA-free containers, but this doesn't appear to be one of them (there's no mention of it on the product page: http://irisusainc.com/p-539-nmp-xl.aspx). The 65 QT MP 400 is described as BPA-free here: http://irisusainc.com/p-800-mp-400.aspx.

As for size, I can only say that it probably fits as much as the small, rectangular containers with push-on tops one commonly sees. These round ones are hard to find.

I just pulled mine and looked and there aren't any numbers on the bottom of it - only the wording NOPRO. I didn't think BPA mattered as long as you weren't cooking in it? I can tell you that mine helps asparagus lasts a couple of weeks and therefore, I love it!

That's not a very accurate or correct product description. For food safety consideration, stainless steel is more important for the inner than the outer container. It doesn't really matter much if the outer made of plastic if the inner made of stainless steel. Or at least, the description should tell of both stainless steel AND plastic.

my understanding that BPA can be found in some plastics and my mug is stainless steel BUT the lid and mouthpiece are a plastic composition with no id markings. I understand BPA is identified with a number code of 7. I cannot find any numbers on my lid.
