IS THE LID BPA FREE AND IS IT HERMETIC COVER?

There are prongs that click the lid in place. You can rotate the lid to 3 functional positions; free-pour, strained-pour, or no-pour. However, the lid is not watertight- if you put water in it & shake, some water will splash out even if the lid is in no-pour position. It's tight enough, though, that putting a layer of plastic wrap between lid & pitcher would largely/completely seal it.

Yes, it is BPA free-code 5PP, but no, it is not hermetic cover-you can pour liquid with the cover on.

I don't know fore sure about bpa free but that brand is made in france and they have stricter standards about bpa so I would guess it is. Also, I would say it is hermetically sealed.

it is BPA free. There are two "bowls" that fit into the thermal container (one bowl acts as lid) and three "sides" or smaller tupperware-like oblong containers which fit along side the thermal container. it appears to be of good quality - it feels like it will last

I'm afraid I gave it to my mom a while ago because it was too big for my fridge, so I can't look for myself...but another reviewer says that it is indeed BPA-free.

According to their website, it is BPA-free... most of their products are, and if they are not, they mention it. It's a great product, I highly recommend!

Sorry...I wish I could help you. My daughter just lost it...I will be buying another one because I loved it so much! It kept food warm. I own another thermos, and the lid is plastic...hope this helps...

Considering the minimal contact time involved between the lids and the food, the fact that BPA is primarily a concern when the material is heated, and the concern about its replacements (primarily BPS) actually being worse, I wouldn't worry about it.

Can't tell for sure, if the lid is BPA free. Concerning question 2: I recommend buying 2 silver because the colored ones can not be cleaned in the dish washer.

It really doesn't matter if it's BPA free because it's the worst single product I've ever purchased. So cheap. Only lasted 2 uses. Lid falls off constantly.

As it states in the product description "BPA free polypropylene container and lid"

According to Tereza Molina at Tovolo, the collapsible microwave cover is made of polypropylene plastic and is BPA free. It has a recycle number of 5.

Yes it is! I emailed the company to ask because I wasn't sure, and they replied saying it's 100% BPA free.

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.

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

Yes. It's definitely BPA free. I just saw the other reply. Edit: I could have sworn it was labeled BPA free. Sorry. I see from the website that they used to be labelled BPA free but removed it and are working on the issue. They also offer it in glass jars, which I prefer.

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

I no longer have the packing insert describing the item. However, I can tell you the insert and lid are plastic but I'm sure it's BPA free. I bought a second one because my needs sometimes require 2. I am an vegetarian. I never used the insert in either one. I just place vegetables with the little water remaining from cleaning and it works fine for me. The first one's inside dish discolored perhaps from yrs of use. Honestly I don't think it's ceramic but it's safe and made for microwave cooking and safer than using plastic covering. I was looking for a second one that was larger and deeper and thought this was it. It turned out to be the same one and size. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
