It says BPA free body. I assume that the cap has BPA in it. Does anyone know for sure?

I just looked at my cap and the only thing it says on it is "GuyotDesigns". You will have to ask them directly. As already noted by Stewart E. most of the time the water in your bottle will not be in contact with the cap, so it would be nothing like having the water in direct contact and possibly leaching BPA's constantly, so it might not be a concern for you.

Not sure about the lid that comes with it. But I use a capCAP lid made by human gear that is. It makes it easyer to drink. Bought it at REI. Hope this helps. Stewart.

I don't know for sure but you should cosider an additional thing: dwell time, the time that your liquid would actually be on contact with the cap. I store the container upright so my dwell time is minimal. The BPA that is important is that which is in contact and the length of the contact time too.

At least when I purchased it .... It said it was BPA free. Ps. I still have mine. And LOVE it!

I just looked and while most of the cap is plastic, the part that touches the water is steel, andthen there is a gasket. So the only plastic that would touch water is a little bit of the gasketseal which insures water proof. This is a quality item of very good manufacture, I love it.

Yes. The only non plastic part is the metal screen and the inner glass layer. The cap (two parts) are made of plastic and there are rubber rings too. I have deemed the product acceptable for my personal anti-BPA standards. After nearly a year of constant use, the plastic cap still weighs the "same" so if it is degrading into my drinks, then it is happening at less than one part per billion over a year.

It is in a plastic jar but it doesn't specifically state BPA free. I assume it is however. It has seemed to be a quality product to me so far.

Hi, It has been a while since I purchased this and I do not recall the packaging mentioning BPA free. I apologize for not being able to help you with this question. I was/am very satisfied with the product. I hope that it will work for you.

I don't see any BPA Free mark. Even if it is BPA free, there are still plenty of chemicals in it that create estrogen. I would have prefered glass as well. Since it is plastic, it is important not to put it in the freezer (to keep your smoothie frozen while you drink the rest) and don't put it in the dish washer - I keep all plastics out of my dish washer. I should mention about no plastics in the dishwasher - before I started this practice in my house, I was having sweats like I was in menopause, but I wasn't. Once I stopped putting plastic in the dishwasher (not even plastic handled knives or pot lids with plastic knobs), microwave and freezer (and stopped drinking bottled water) the sweats went away.

That is a valid concern. I doubt there is BPA in the plastic on the Bodum. BPA is added to plastic to make it flexible which is why it was in baby bottles and water bottles. The cap on the Bodum is rigid. So rigid I believe it would break before flexing. For that reason I believe it is exremely unlikely the plastic on the Bodum contains any BPA.

Why don't they specify it on the package or on the bottle itself? I guess the answer is no, it's not BPA free. My friend also gave me a similar one that was made in Japan. "BPA free" is specified on that bottle.

I looked at ours and it does not say "bpa free" anywhere on the bottle or the lid, so apparently its not.

I checked, and I cant find anywhere where it says BPA free, so Im going to assume its not BPA free.

The previous answer is correct: the cap assembly is lined with some type of plastic. Since the metal part of the bottle screws inside of the plastic, most of the plastic in the lid is covered unless some liquid gets down into the threads somehow. I would guess the area of plastic exposure is a square inch or a so. The label states the bottle is BPA free.

BPA free plastic with metal bottom and cap. The metal bottom is wrapped around the plastic bottle.

The cap is Food grade stainless steel on the outside and a BPA free polypropylene inner. The silicone seal is latex free.For longevity of the bottle we do not recommend dishwashers but many clients do use them with minimal problems to date.Hope that helps:)

The cap does not have stainless steel parts. it is plastic with a silicone band.

Mine just arrived and I was disappointed to find plastic on the inside around the spout. I called the company and the representative said the plastic is BPA free. I wish I could find something online that confirmed this. Not sure if I'm going to keep the product
