Are the lids BPA FREE?

Mine came with the lids, but as a caveat, I purchased way back in Dec 2013. I know this is going to sound strange, but I suggest you NOT microwave the lids as much as you can. My previous lids became brittle and cracked over time (years of use). Perhaps Corning changed the material they used, but I am careful with mine.

No. The lids are all plastic. The containers are thick sturdy glass. The tops are 100% plastic, but this allows them to seal completely. Personally, I do not microwave food with the lid on, also, the lids don't really come in contact with food, other than to prevent spills. I am happy with this product. I've used the containers daily for a year and they are in new condition so they wear well.

Yes they are. What I've learned is that only "clear" plastic bottles may contain BPA but doesn't hurt to ask or research each product someone is interested in purchasing.

I do not see any markings that indicate that these lids are BPA-free. The bigger concern is the composition of the glass itself. Corning divested its interests in 1998 and, with that, the original formula of borosilicate glass was changed to soda-lime glass, a cheaper and more volatile composition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrex. I have both the original and current version of these ribbed glass storage bowls. The earlier is heavier and will likely outlast the modern version by generations.

yes they are plastic, but not sure about BPA free, I'd contact manufacturer for reassurance on that. It's a REALLY nice kit!

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

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.

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

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.

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

inside the lid is a rubber seal. i don't know of any rubber that has bpa so i think it's safe.

Unsure- the lid is mainly metal within a plastic seal. The seal may have BPA but am unsure

According to the World Kitchen website (CORNINGWARE® and PYREX® are registered trademarks of Corning Incorporated used under license by World Kitchen, LLC.), the lids are BPA free.

I wasn't sure which Ball lids you were asking about, as I have ordered different ones at various times. The Ball design series lids with bands which are blue states on the box these are BPA Free. I hope this a help to you.

Claudia, I cannot attest to these jar lids being BPA-free, however, the following link takes you to the 4 oz Ball jars which apparently DO HAVE the new BPA-free lids. I found the BPA-free answer under one of the questions specifically asking if the lids were BPA-free for canning baby food. I hope this helps. :) Ball Jar Crystal Jelly Jars with Lids and Bands, Quilted, 4-Ounce, Set of 12

Yes they are. I love these lids. They are so easy to open and keeps the food so fresh.
