Yes -- I had thrown out the packaging already, so I contacted the manufacturer.

I'm sorry I don't know if they are BPA I would guess not. I would contact the Arrow Company. I love the containers great for freezing.

Unsure if they are BPA free, but I have been using them for a while. I have had no problems with food stains, or picking up odors. I make a point of not heating food in them, but have put spagetti sauce (tomato) in them, with no problems. Maybe contact the seller for the BPA concerns, or look them up on the internet?

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.

According to the FoodSaver website the bags are BPA free. http://www.foodsaver.com/service-%26-support/product-support/product-faqs/bags-%26-rolls/general-questions/bags-and-rolls-general-questions-faq.html

I am not sure if the lids are BPA free. I bought them as a gift for someone. I never opened the box.

Since they are NOT made in the US, (these are from Italy) they are not obligated to tell you if they are or are not BPA free. I checked my lids and other than saying dishwasher safe (upper rack) there is no other information. I don't use the lids in the microwave if that is the big concern. I would err on the safe side and tell you not to use the lids in heated situations and not put in dishwasher until you are sure. I still love these containers and freeze soups in them and reheat in same, but I also don't have kids and I know that is a big concern for young people being exposed to BPA. Wish I could help more.

The company claims they are BPA free. I do not cook or reheat in mine, just freeze. But good question.

Although there is nothing on the packaging claiming BPA free product. the Foodsaver website claims that they are BPA free.

I believe that they are BPA free. Most all organically grown foods are not placed into cans that have BPA.

Yes, they are made of silicone and BPA free. They are really a great product. They clean up quickly and easily and they are very sturdy, even if you have kids that like to chew on things. I like them for my smoothies. :)
