Is this jar lead free and BPA free? Where is it made? Thank you.

This is a canning jar made of glass not leaded crystal. Since the jar is made of glass and BPA is a chemical element in plastic, I would suspect there is no BPA in plastic. The jar does have a rubber seal at the lid, but it doesn

I assume its BPA free since it's glass. Not sure about lead though. It's made in Italy.

My understanding is that it is made of lead free glass in Italy. If you really want the truth, why not contact the company that makes them: http://www.bormioliroccousa.com/usa/products/storage/product.jsp?sezione=17&serie;=917001

It is glass so the bpa is not an issue, and they are being made after the ban on using lead in items. Although i do not know where they are made, so if they are made in China that could be a problem. I love the one I have.

The jar doesn't list a manufacturer, but it is made in the USA if that helps?

I checked their website and it says all of their glazes are lead free. One should expect that since they are a domestic producer of food safe containers they would be compliant with US law.

I looked at the box and it doesn't mention if it is bpa free or not. Maybe the reynolds web site will mention something regarding this.

there is nothing mentioned about lead or cadmium free on any of the packaging or the baker itself. it does say that the product was made in china for Norpro USA. Hope this helps

I wish it was, but as it came out long before the BPA news, I doubt it is. I really wish Oster would make a BPA-free updated version of this, because I loved mine! ... for now, it's glass Ball jars. Don't fit well in a cupholder, but less potentially toxic.

I don't really know, the jar says PETE #1...upon further investigation (thank you internet) it seems that #1 PETE is ok, no BPA's (no symbol on lid)

According to the manufacturer it is lead free. It has a symbol "92" stamped on it that indicates that it has a minimum o 92 percentage of tin in the alloy, meaning to me is the rest is copper, antimony or bismuth. That's the best that I can help you with. Maybe check the web sit for the tankard. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I don't think they are lead. Here is what Nakpunar says about their jars...the jars we sell have special BPA free lids and you can use them for foods. They can also be waterbath for the jams. Apr 22, 2014 by Nakpunar

It is NOT lead free. In product details you can read: Proposition 65 warning!

Not sure about the made in the USA part. But from what I have researched I believe YES it is BPA free.

I would imagine it is lead free. This particular crock pot just came out around 5 or 6 years ago. Since I use mine 4 days of the week out of seven if there was lead I think we would have had a problem by now. The crocks look pretty much like all crocks in these kind of pots and I just can not imagine that there would be any lead involved. This is a guess on my part though, and frankly, regardless, I am still going to be using mine. Nothing that comes out of it tastes like it has been sitting in liquid all day.

Hi N. Alexander, Great question. Yes, all of our jars and lids we use are BPA-Free. Our jars are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and our lids are made of polypropylene (PP) both of which are naturally BPA-Free. Also, the F217 liner (the liner present in the top of both of our two different size lids) is BPA free. The F217 liner core is made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and it's between two layers of solid LDPE. Here is a blog post on the Container & Packaging Supply company's blog about BPA and BPA-Free products (Note: about half way down the page look for "Not All Plastic Has BPA." to find that HDPE and PP is BPA-Free. Also, the second to last paragraph in the body of the post explains what plastics are BPA free.): http://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2012/06/why-it-wont-kill-you-bisphenol-a-bpa-and-the-defamed-plastic-bottles/ Here are two other useful links: http://www.livestrong.com/article/158674-which-plastic-containers-can-i-safely-use/ http://www.reuseit.com/product-materials/the-7-most-common-plastics-and-how-they-are-typically-used.htm Hope this helps. I'm sorry for the delay in answering your question. That is out of character for our company's response time. The main reason for the delay is that we as sellers aren't notified of questions that are posted in Amazon Answers like yours was. We do monitor new questions and for some reason we simply didn't see it listed. Please accept our apologies.

yes all the parts are bpa, lead and phalate free, even the storage tray. Also the glass jars are very strong. I droped one from about 4 or 5 feet onto a cement floor and there wasnr any fracture whatsoever. Theyer pretty awesome.

Yes it is lead free it is all stainless. As far as we know. It works perfectly too. My husband used it to replace a plastic spigot in my glass sun tea jar, which I use every other day :)
