Is there a little triangle at the bottom of the container indicating #2 or #5 plastic? I think only #2 and #5 are both food safe and safe for reuse.

there is a little triangle at the bottom of the container indicating #7. This container is literally made to hold flour. I can't imagine it would not be food safe and safe for reuse.

It is a #7, as the one person said this one is made for flour, so it is okay for food

Avoid using #7 plastics as much as possible-it is a mixed bag and you never quite know what kind of plastic is included in the mix. i have emailed this company asking them to explain to me how it can be bpa free and still be a number 7, waiting for the reply.

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.

There is a 5 in the triangle recycle symbol with a pp below the triangle. There is also an omega symbol and a number 4 on the bottom of the container. Don't know of this helps.

The number in the triangle on the bottom of the plastic container is a #1 and it says PET also.

The bottom says PET with a 1 inside the triangle. Hope this helps. I do not know beyond this what kind of plastic it is.

It is NOT. On the bottom there are 2 symbols: food safe (thank goodness!) and dishwasher safe.But definitely a great little cup. Worth warming up whatever it is in a different container and transferring.

Plastic- non bpa - the safe plastic- I can't remember on the sealing-however I am picky and if it does not seem food safe I will not giive a good review- I would buy this again- Cheers

A quick Google search might help you. I found out that Food Grade plastics are those that contain no dyes, chemicals or any recycled material that could leach into food (or in this case, water poured through the unit). Hope that helps...

The recycling triangle on the tray is 5 P.P. It is made of Polypropylene, which is a BPA-free plastic.

No Lawrence F. you did not understand the question, there is a number on the bottom of most if not all plastic containers for specific type of plastic which is what Sandra B was asking for and not how many jars, pardon the interruption.

There is a #1 in the triangle & it says PET below it. I believe it is considered the safest kind of plastic.

Don't know if this is the answer that you are looking for, the bottle has a recycle triangle with the number 5 and PP stamped underneath.

Not so sure about it. But the plastic container is PP material, I think it's quite safe.

Yes, there is a #5 symbol on the lids. In my town, these are considered recyclable. Hope this helps.

#7 is not necessarily safe - it is a catch all for resins that are not classified 1 though 6. Often proprietary patented products, such as Tritan, fall into this category. So users beware: corporations are not always your friend. Safest is to be sure to use type #2, 4 or 5.I recently purchased a Reliance Products Aqua-Pak 5 Gallon Rigid Water Container which says it is made from "Food Grade Plastic" and is BPA free. I contacted Reliance and they said "All of our water containers with the exception of the Aqua-Clear carry a recycle code of 2 (HDPE)."

The number 7 in a triangle has to do with recycling. Nalgene no longer uses BPA in their water bottles - it says BPA FREE next to the 7. They have not been recalled, but responding to consumer pressure the company changed the plastic they used for their bottles in 2008-2009. Mine has no odor.

On this specific purple Bobble, there is a number 5 in the triangle with "PP" underneath it. My other Bobble is clear and has a number 1 in the triangle with "PETE" underneath it. I also didn't realize until now that the bottles were made from different plastic, although I guess I should have figured it out since they look and feel different. I just went to their website and it says in their FAQ that "bobble is made from FDA-approved polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, that is free of BPA, phthalates and PVC. The filter housing and mouth piece is made from polypropylene, or PP, that is free of BPA, phthalates and PVC."
