The containers are not plastic. In fact, they are a corning ware or ceramic type containers.

Only the lids are plastic. The containers are glass! WE are very happy with our purchase!

Both the bottle and the cover are #2 HDPE plastic and as far as I know BPA is only found in plastics with the #7.

I am fairly confident that these containers do not contain bpa. The recycling code marked on the containers is a 5, which indicates polypropylene. According to Wikipedia, "plastics that are marked with Resin Identification Codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are very unlikely to contain BPA. Some, but not all, plastics that are marked with the Resin Identification Code 7 may be made with BPA."[40]

Yes, the care & safety instruction sheet states that the containers are BPA free.

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

I honestly do not remember if the packaging stated bpa/phthalate free but before purchasing I did more research and came to find all of their products are.

With apologies, I don't know what "BPA" is. The cases are quite nice and appear to be made of a sturdy ABS plastic material.

According to Rubbermaid's web site, they do not contain BPA. http://www.rubbermaid.com/Pages/LearnAboutBPA.aspx#bpa

I wouldn't know. I threw them away because it is not labeled that it is BPA free.

I can't answer for sure, but we've been using them for a year with no problems. The outside "plastic-like" cover seems to be made out of a dissolving substance that just disappears quickly rather than sitting around.

They are microwave and dishwasher safe but I do not microwave the covers since they are plastic. They are great

Yes. In my order they were each individually wrapped in plastic which is not very environmentally friendly but they are, overall, wonderful!

The packaging does NOT indicate BPA free. But I am glad you asked the question. Like you, I will attempt to find out before making further purchases.

They shouldn't. The recycle symbol on the bottom is a "5", which the internet seems to assure me is BPA-free.

Sorry, I threw out the packaging so I don't know. I do recall that that are BPA free, so they do meet US safety standards.

According to the Host website they are BPA free plastic. I didn't see anything in the pamphlet that was enclosed in my box.
