I assumed it was NOT when nothing was written on the packaging, but because my kids wouldn't be mouthing it I did not pursue the answer by calling the company.

I tossed the box It MAY have said BPA free. Im pretty sure it didnt say pthylate free specifically.

This toy is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), although according to the manufacturer, it is phthalates free. Thank you for shopping with DGS Novelties!

I pulled out a can I had on hand and checked for a BPA-free claim. Couldn't find anything so I sent a question to Oceans Natural. This is their response: "Thank you for contacting Ocean Naturals. We're thrilled that you like our tuna, and have been a fan since practically our beginning. As far as your BPA question: Ocean Naturals products are not manufactured with packaging materials (cans or lids) known to contain (BPA) Bisphenol A Diglycidyl Ether (BADGE), Bisphenol F, Diglycidyl Ether (BFDGE), or Novolac Glycidyl Ether (NOGE). These materials are not intentionally added to any of the packaging components we purchase. While some companies have decided to market their packaging as "BPA free" - as a brand we have stopped short of promoting the cans we use as "BPA free" for one reason. While it seems logical that 'free' means 'free', when it comes to product promises we have elected not to make such an absolute assertion without there being a clearly defined and established standard in place which outlines both a testing methodology and allowable levels we must meet in order to make such a claim. Hopefully a standard will be adopted shortly by the FDA and we can re-evaluate our decision about adding the claim to our package. I hope what I have shared is helpful. Thank you again for contacting Ocean Naturals. We are a young brand and appreciate your feedback. Thank you, Tricia Ocean Naturals"

Source uses a co-extruded polyethylene film in this product. It is BPA and phthalate free.

I'm not 100% certain, however, I do know it's Vinyl, PVC & Phthalate free. Hope that helps.

I ordered directly from PCA a few years back and saved the box's that the product came in, just incase I would be abke to reorder. None if the boxes have a date stamped on tge bottem. I looked up when I ordered the collagen and I had saved that box as well. I ordered through amazon and there is a date stamped on the bottom of the box 1212. Never noticed and wouldn't have even thought about the product being a fake.

Yes! I bought 2 of these and the package says they are BPA, PVC, and Phthalate free.

Hi. I bought these, in part, because the description online for this item said that they were BPA free, so I assume that's correct. Beyond that, I don't know. I usually rip off the packaging and toss it.

Packaging doesn't state phthalate free; I did look at several websites to check this out. The best info I could find indicates most new rubbermaid food containers have low levels of this chemical, but none tested show leaching into food. The bottom grid for this produce saver product is a hard plastic, like a lid, and very unlikely to contain these plastic softeners. I worry more about deordorants, cosmetics, anything with fragrance etc. than these particular containers. However, to be completely safe, your best bet is glass containers with hard plastic lids.

Hi, I was hoping the newer ones would indicate this on the box - but they don't. I called the company and asked for a print out indicating that they were free from BPA - they said they didn't have anything to send me - I am not certain they understood my question - as their English wasn't American English. This was two years ago - so I guess we should make another call - and maybe get some updated response! But I figure - hopefully not to recklessly that using my Boat once a week will be safe for everyone - but yes - I would love to have a guarantee that it was BPA free.

I don't believe they are. There is no documentation of that. I would email the company to find out for sure, but that is something that companies usually brage about on a box if it is BPA free

It is BPA-free. Click on the "Features & Details" section (well, at least if you're using the mobile site) and down toward the bottom, under "Product Information", you'll see "Material Type", and it says BPA-free, phthalate-free, latex-free, etc.

Call the company hotline with the stamped/imprinted code. Mine is BE***4. Because it ends with a "4", it was manufactured in 2014 and therefore BPA and phthalate free. (Yay)

Hi Kristen, We only use food grade materials in our products and partnered with a manufacturer to make a BPA-free product, which also happens to be phthalate free. Happy ordering! And for more information if you're curious (as I am!): I'm pretty sure you can't use phthalates in US food product manufacturing. Our product is polyester (for flexibility), nylon (for durability) and a food grade sealant. Polyester (sometimes called PET) is a bit of a misnomer because people can confuse it with a phthalate due to its chemical name. I decided to get to the bottom of this and found several helpful sources in my own research. Perhaps you'd be interested in reading this one: http://www.petcore-europe.org/content/does-pet-contain-phthalates or this one: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1367856/ Best, Brandon

Thanks, but your answer is a bit confusing. I asked if these are Free of surfactants & you said I don't think so, meaning there are surfactants in these. Did you actually mean that your don't think there are any surfactants in them?

They appear to be a #7 plastic, which according to the internet is a catch-all category which makes it difficult to know exactly what the composition is. BPA, etc, can not be ruled out from this category of plastics. I wish I had asked the same question. Otherwise the quality is very good.
