Are these bags made in the US? Other cheaper brands are made in china and worried may not be bpa free. Thanks

Gee that's funny. My bags say clearly on the box MADE IN CHINA. So what. Everything is made in China these days.

Yes, they are a US Product made by FoodSaver for FoodSaver and work great............rough side down when sealing makes the difference for a perfect seal

I don't know whether or not the bags are BPA free. The bags aren't labeled in a way that indicates BPA or not. The bags aren't marketed with a focus on food storage and most of the bags in the set are quite small and, therefore, seem more intended for holding seeds, stamps, buttons, small parts and similar very small items than food items so my personal guess is that there was no reason for the manufacturer to exclude BPA in the formulation.

It doesn't say where they were made and I bought them a while ago so I no longer have the packaging. I would highly recommend though. I have not been disappointed with them. They are very strong and protect the food just as well as the higher priced bags.

We no longer have any of the packaging materials that came with the set, but they are clearly labeled "made in china", and "bpa free". I can't make any strong statement on melamine free, but this doesn't seem as rigid as what I normally associate with melamine (for what that's worth).

The fact that there is nothing mentioned on the bowls means that they are nor BPA free. From the look and feel these are more like plastic items included in the kitchen pretend play sets. Also, at the back, it just says 'made in china'.

Well, I looked but could not see. However since it is a lifetime warranty and BPA free almost certainly is made in USA. I know no lifetime guarantees from anything made overseas. Hope this helps. It is a good quality item.

Hi Oly Guy,The bags I bought say they are designed in California and manufactured in India. I think Yvonne missed the second label identifying how to wash and where they are made. The website www.SimpleEcology.com may provide additional information, and, like Yvonne, I'm really happy with the quality.

On the back of my bag it says "Made in the USA". It doesn't specify what state/city they're made in, but they are made in the USA.

NO!! They are cheap Chinese knock-offs & not even in the plastic/poly bag. This applies to ones sold by Allegheny Surplus Outlet Inc. Tried to resolve this with them to no avail. I would have to eat shipping both ways.....

This is what my bag says: Packaged in USA. Raw material from China and USA. Every batch tested in USA to ensure the highest quality. Thanks for asking the question... I learned something that I wasn't aware of.

This product is manufactured by vanesse plastics, it is made in the USA and manufactured in New Jersey. their website is vanesseplastics.com, they have been a leader ( according to their website) in eco friendly containers the website says on the containers in question, that its is made from USFDA food container approved plastics ( safe for pets ) ..... as far as the chemical composition and being BPA free that is something that you would have to specifically ask them .... but they are a solid company, and make a great product .

Weston bags are produced in China. These are Weston brand bags, made in China. They are BPA free, FDA approved and are a great product that will save you money over Foodsaver™ (which is also made in China).Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I believe that they are all BPA free. I can't remember where I saw that, but I don't buy anything that isn't BPA free...

It does not specifically say on the box. It does say "BPA Free' and it is product of Polyvinyl Films Inc of Sutton MA. Made in the USA.

Hi. I bought these, in part, because the description online for this item said that they were BPA free, so I assume that's correct. Beyond that, I don't know. I usually rip off the packaging and toss it.
