Does the jar/lid contain BPA?

I don't really know, the jar says PETE #1...upon further investigation (thank you internet) it seems that #1 PETE is ok, no BPA's (no symbol on lid)

The jar and lid are both plastic. I don't see anything that mentions the composition of the plastic. I don't even see the PETE #1 that Walter mentioned.

This listing is for four lids and straws to add to your own mason jars. The lids and straws are both BPA free.

I can't confirm the BPA content but the only plastic it touches is when you pour the coffee. It does not touch any plastic during brewing or while it sits.

The lids are traditional Kerr Metal canning lids. They where safe for me when I was a kid many years ago and I do not think that they have changed much over the years. We still trust them. I have not heard of BPA plastic being used in the seals. (Don't use the glass jar in the microwave with the metal lid in place!)

Hi N. Alexander, Great question. Yes, all of our jars and lids we use are BPA-Free. Our jars are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and our lids are made of polypropylene (PP) both of which are naturally BPA-Free. Also, the F217 liner (the liner present in the top of both of our two different size lids) is BPA free. The F217 liner core is made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and it's between two layers of solid LDPE. Here is a blog post on the Container & Packaging Supply company's blog about BPA and BPA-Free products (Note: about half way down the page look for "Not All Plastic Has BPA." to find that HDPE and PP is BPA-Free. Also, the second to last paragraph in the body of the post explains what plastics are BPA free.): http://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2012/06/why-it-wont-kill-you-bisphenol-a-bpa-and-the-defamed-plastic-bottles/ Here are two other useful links: http://www.livestrong.com/article/158674-which-plastic-containers-can-i-safely-use/ http://www.reuseit.com/product-materials/the-7-most-common-plastics-and-how-they-are-typically-used.htm Hope this helps. I'm sorry for the delay in answering your question. That is out of character for our company's response time. The main reason for the delay is that we as sellers aren't notified of questions that are posted in Amazon Answers like yours was. We do monitor new questions and for some reason we simply didn't see it listed. Please accept our apologies.

I agree with Nathans answer. Only item to have BPA would be plastic lids. And it is clearly stated BPA free.

Lids are made from BPA-free polypropylene and have a silicone seal. Ideal situation, of course, would be no plastic. But as long as the food rests safely in the glass portion, it's about as good as it gets. Wean Greens and Glasslocks are simply awesome!

The only part that could have bpa is the lid. I do not believe that it was advertised as bpa free, but the majority of the cup is stainless steel inside and out.

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.

It seems the correct answer is yes, it does contain BPA. However, here is a link describing the tests done on the product: http://aerobie.com/Products/Details/AeroPressMaterialsDescription.htm It would seem that the coffee produced does not contain BPA. Hope this was helpful.

It is in a plastic jar. I do not recall if it said BPA free or not. Sorry I couldn't help more

Perhaps you could contact the manufacturer to find out. It might say somewhere on the packaging but we threw that out a long time ago. I'm really not sure if its BPA free.

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

There are couple of seller list under this listing. I cannot guaranteed theirs but the jars we sell have special BPA free lids and you can use them for foods. They can also be waterbath for the jams.

No, it is BPA-free plastic and is able to withstand brewing temperature. I love mine!

I don't believe so- I didn't see anything on the box or info pamphlet about being BPA free.
