What about BPA or BPS in these containers?

No BPA in these boxes. They are paper lined with wax. BPA is in the resinous plastic lining of metal cans. Acidic foods like tomatoes release the BPA from the lining better than foods of neutral pH.

The box states "PBA Free" and also "GMO free." in addition, "No artificial flavor, no citric acid, no preservatives, and no water added."

I am also concerned about BPS, so I contacted Pomi from their website. They responded quickly and assured me that BPS is not used in the liners or spouts of their products.

The jars are silicone, so they are bpa free. It is nice because if you make your own food and freeze it, the food thaws quickly in these containers- I just put mine in hot water.

Snapware states that all their products are BPA-free. I found no statement about phthalate,, though (which is, I think, what you are referring to). I don't use these containers for food, but to organize small household items. For this purpose I have been very pleased with Snapware stackable containers.

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

I don't know, but will contact manufacturer 2 find out. They are the best, most convenient @ most durable containers I've ever used. This standard for all others who have fallen short by comparison.

Just googled it and the answer on their site is as follows: Yes, every product that Snapware currently sells is completely free of bisphenol-A (BPA). Snapware is committed to providing customers with safe, high quality and innovative storage containers, and removing BPA from all products is an important part of doing just that. Recently there has been much debate over the safety of BPA, which is a component of polycarbonate used in many plastics. BPA can potentially leach from containers when heated (via microwave or other methods), ultimately creating a safety risk when in contact with food. Due to these potential hazards, Snapware's extensive product lines are manufactured entirely without the use of BPA. We back our BPA-free claim with continuous material testing conducted by an internationally recognized independent lab. For additional details on BPA, visit http://www.factsonplastic.com/.

I agree! How can we request a glass container? I would gladly pay a bit more postage to have no BPA in the container!

Heated plastic in microwavable safe containers is currently under significant scrutiny these days. Although the "vote" is not in yet. Bisphenol-A, the chemical that supposedly leaches into food as a threshold is reached when plastic containers are heated to said threshold, is the chemical under scrutiny. Originally initiated when mothers were concerned for their babies when heating bottles of milk in microwaves; there is still NO definitive evidence that there is anything afoul occurring. Your safest approach would be less time in microwave or use the good 'ole stove.

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.

Based on people saying that these containers are #5 Plastic, then yes they are. If the bottle is made from No. 7 plastic, it probably contains BPA. To find out for certain, however, you will need to contact the manufacturer. No. 7 plastics are used to make 5-gallon water containers, baby bottles, heavy-duty sports drink bottles, "sippy cups" and plastic utensils. Most soda, juice and milk containers are made from No. 1 or No. 2 plastics. Most plastic food storage containers are made with No. 5 plastic.

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.

According to the kids konserve website it the containers are "BPA-free, PVC-free, phthalate-free and lead-free!". However it doesn't specify if they are referring to the containers themselves or the lids. This may be a good question to pose directly to them to clarify. Here's the link: http://store.kidskonserve.com/Round-Nesting-Trio-Containers-Moss-Set-of-3-p/kk042.htm

I am looking at the box they came in and on the front it states "Plastic Storage Caps BPA free for versatile storage. I hope this helps.

Hi Jackie, our containers are made of Polypropylene and they are also BPA free so it is perfectly safe for you to store food inside them. They are made in South Korea.

if you like to give your baby abnormal brain growth or possibly cancer, sure go ahead...read this article, including near the end where it talks about BPS and other chemicals in plastics that are BPA-freehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/11/plastic-container-microwa_n_6847262.htmlI always stick with glass and lead-free ceramics for baby food

What plastic exactly? It mentions BPA free, but are there any other bisphenols used? BPS, perhaps? Where can we get the exact list of chemicals? Any certifications from a European consumer safety authority?
