I would love to help you but I am not sure if the jar is BPA and phlalate free. It doesn't say it on the jar itself. Also the recycle number in the bottom is 1. I hope this helps and if you want to tell me were to look on the jar for more info , pls email me back!

I don't find a recycle number. No numbers except on the bar code . The contents are manufactured for Nutiva in Oxford, CA and is a product of the Philippines. The jar bottom has a triangle with a number 2 in the middle, with the word hope underneath. To the left of the triangle and the word 'hope' is the number 4. Under that is what appears to be a letter 'C' back to back with another one. Sorry I can't help you more.

Per the Nutiva website: Nutiva packages our oil in three types of materials: Glass jars, clear PET and white HDPE. We have found the white HDPE holds up better for shipping via UPS or USPS during the hot summer months.Also note Nutiva containers are made without BPA. Bisphenol A or BPA is used in some plastics and tin cans.

The new jar that we are shipping in is recyclable HDPE plastic. As of this week, we are filling our new 100% post consumer plastic jar made from old milk jugs and the like.

I emailed the company directly and was answered quickly, To quote Brianna; " All their products are BPA-Free. Polypropylene #5 is used and research shows that PP5 does not leach carcinogens or endocrine disrupters. The Green Guide categorizes it as the safest reusable plastic for holding food and water." I hope that answered your question. I have had one for 5 years how and absolutely love it!

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

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.

Normally the number is listed inside the recycle symbol. This bottle does not have a number inside the recycle symbol, but says "BPA free" beneath the recycle symbol.

Hi,There are some inaccurate responses to this question. The lids are in fact BPA free just like the entire VonShef range.Many Thanks,Designer Habitat

The pitcher itself does not contain any markings that would suggest that its BPA and phtalate free. The markings on the bottom specify only that its PP #5 recyclable.

hi... It does not indicate BPA free on the label just a recycle code of PETE 1. which is a better plastic. All plastic still has a certain level of toxins leaching in if the shea butter was poured into the container hot or warm. I've purchased from this company before and they SEEM to practice the goodness they preach. hope this helps

Its been awhile since I last pyrchased these bottles, but I think they are BPA free. They were very popular with my kids.

You mean BPA? I don't think it mentions in the manual, but the smaller containers are all glass and the strainer seems to be made of something like PET. The bigger container is probably the most likely to have a bis phenol issue, but if it bothers you, some small canning jars the same size as the included jars will work pretty well.

Honestly I don't know. But Teddie is a good company and partbof the reason why I buy their product is because of the lack of additives. So I can't imagine them using older plastic jars that had BPA. They have great customer service and I am confident they will be honest with you.

There is no number inside of the recycle symbol on the bottom of these bottles. It is blank, and simply states BPA free below the symbol.

Yes, it does. The jar is PET plastic (also known as PETE and designated by a recyclable "1") does not contain BPA.

I don't know if it is BPA free, but the recycle sign (triangle) on the bottom has a 1 in it. According to Mayo Clinic, plastics marked with 3 - 7 are NOT BPA free. However, since this container is a 1 then my assumption would be that it is BPA free. The top does not have a lock. I use the container in the processing of a skin product I make, I do not use it for consumables.

According to the box it is BPA Free. I don't know about PBA. They are recyclable too.
