The lid will in all likelihood will be in contact with the food. Are the lids BPA free?

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.

Considering the minimal contact time involved between the lids and the food, the fact that BPA is primarily a concern when the material is heated, and the concern about its replacements (primarily BPS) actually being worse, I wouldn't worry about it.

The inside of the lids say they are not oven proof. But they are safe for the refrigerator, and dishwasher and freezer and the microwave.

These are food grade storage lids. They meet current safety standards so therefore should be BPA free. These are not canning or food processing lids. They are great for dry staples as well as salad dressings which are acidic by nature. There is no chemical corrosion occurring with these lids. Wonderful for keeping food dry and free of unwanted pests. Great product.

Hello Jennifer, I mostly purchase the glass containers. I have one plastic container and it does not say anywhere on it whether it is BPA free. I would guess that it would be, but I am not certain at all. Katherine

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.

I don't know2 if the cover is BPA-free and I never put it in the microwave as there is a potential that it could explode as it is a tight lid.

Yes, according to product description published elsewhere - and Rubbermaid site states "bases and lids" are bpa free.

No, the plastic ones are not, but dishwasher safe. Very good product. I have not tried to use the glass lids in microwave. Sorry!

If you look at other options for the same line, you'll see that the lids are BPA free. Glasslock products are all BPA free.

Yes, BPA free. See the specs on the OXO site: http://www.oxo.com/p-1027-baby-food-freezer-tray.aspx#

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! They are made of silicone which doesn't leach any chemicals. The straws and lids are both silicone and BPA free!

The lids are the only piece that are plastic, thus the only reason it would be labeled BPA free is if the lids are BPA free. BPA is not used in manufacturing glass. So... yes, the lids are BPA free.

The lid does not say it is, so I would think not but my food will only be covered with the lid not touching. Not sure if it makes any difference or not.

I don't remember if they are bpa free. What I can tell you is that your food should be about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch below the plastic parts. They shouldn't touch.

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.
