The US does not allow food containers to contain BPA anymore, so anything that is being made and sold in the US with the purpose of touching food should be BPA-free.

it is made of plastic. i don't know if is a good plastic but i don't reccomend this one. i returned it. too much little things attached and it looked difficult to use and parts would be lost very soon.

mine is bpa free plastic according to the manufacturer. I have had bubba cups for what seems like eternity would not trade them for any stainless steel cup out there.

It says in the product description that the container is made from Eastman Tritan which is a BPA free copolyester.

I carefully checked the cardboard packaging that came with the screens and I do not see anywhere on them that it says PBA-free. I did put the question to the company on their website, so I'll respond again when I hear something from them. The website is www.nesco.com; number 1-800-288-4545. Hope that helps. You posed a great question...I'm looking forward to the answer.

When I contacted the manufacture of another beverage container they make similar to this one they said it had lead in it. And said it was safe for food?

The container is not glass, but appears to be some type of plaslic. I don't know whether it is BPA free. Hope this helps and you find what you are looking for.

Hi Maxwell, here are the specs on the Water Container for you; Manufactured from food-grade low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), that are BPA free and will not add taste, odor, or any chemicals to the water. Let us know if you have any other questions. Kindly, Renee

IT IS *NOT* BPA FREE. The label clearly states "Sans BPA Free". Look up the word 'sans' in the dictionary. It means 'without'. This container is 'without BPA free' which means it has BPA. That explains why people are getting funny tastes and why the guy in the comments said it had an oily film on the surface of the water. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

The container is plastic, but dark brown. It has a code number of "7". I know that "7" means something, I just don't know what. I do know that this brand coconut oil was liquid when another brand that I had was still solid. I think this means something good... I'm just not sure what? I don't keep my oil long enough to worry about leaching, I don't think?

It looks and feels like plastic to me, but i have not run any material tests on it to know for certain. It has a clear plastic lid and is shrink wrapped if i recall correctly.

The container is a solid plastic--the kind that looks like glass, and not the flexible kind. It is, however, of very good quality. I dropped an empty container once (to the floor, from a counter height), and it didn't break, didn't even get banged up.

I'm not a plastic expert, but the bottom part is very clear like glass, probably a polypropylene. The top is softer, a little like hard rubber. The base is a typical large rubber suction cup. I love this thing in my kitchen for dish soap. The measure markings on the side make it so easy to fill with soap and water.

It is a plastic micro safe container with plastic micro safe insert! If it were anything else you would have a problem.....

Michael, Re Oggi container: Good question. I don't know if it's BPA free. It's made in China, so, you know, you never know what you're going to get ... I use it for food waste, so I don't worry about it in this case.

Hello Anne. There is no indication that this jug is BPA free nor do I expect it to be so. A good majority of containers (especially those used in the fields of medicine or other sciences) contain BPA to improve the overall durability of the plastic. It is also important to note that this item is not made from HDPE but from LDPE- the description is a bit misleading to some.
