Hi,There are some inaccurate responses to this question. The lids are in fact BPA free just like the entire VonShef range.Many Thanks,Designer Habitat

I just checked the packaging and it didn't say BPA free anywhere that I could see. I'm not sure how much this matters with it being a floor mat but I always make sure the kids eating utensils and drinking cups are BPA free.

I went to the Trudeau site but couldn't find a definitive answer there. It would probably be best to contact them with that question. They are made out of polypropylene which according to reviews may contain BPA. The site I saw said that "BPA is a major ingredient in polycarbonate plastics, normally labeled with recycling number 7. While polypropylene and polyethylene plastics, marked with product codes 1, 2 and 5, appear safer, vom Saal says they may still contain BPA, because polycarbonate is often combined with other plastics, although it may not be listed on the label." A bunch of other sites refer to the Trudeau bowls as BPA free but I don't know where they got their information. So it would be safer to contact Trudeau. The bottom of the bowls do say microwave but I'm not sure if that means BPA free. Hope this helps.

These are food grade storage lids. They meet current safety standards so therefore should be BPA free. These are not canning or food processing lids. They are great for dry staples as well as salad dressings which are acidic by nature. There is no chemical corrosion occurring with these lids. Wonderful for keeping food dry and free of unwanted pests. Great product.

no - these are BPA and melamine free. Their materials is not actually plastic, but a compound that creates a hard plastic like bowl/plate/etc.

The bowl is 100% food-safe,BPA-free silicone. BPA-free silicone is hypoallergenic and bacteria-resistant. It's food-safe, pliable and easy to clean, making it perfect for food storage, transport and serving.

They are advertised as being BPA free. Personally, I'm not worried about the lids. So long as you don't fill them 100% full, it's fine.

Hi, thank you for reaching out! You can be sure they are certified BPA free. On the LittleBigBox's box we printed a small icon that says so, and we'll be including more information on the inner labels to make it clearer for our customers that our products are safe for storing and heating food. We believe in ethics and honesty and wouldn't advertise characteristics that we cannot backup or that are untrue and specially harmful for our customers. I hope I've been able to answer your question and feel free to reach out again in case you have any other doubts or comments!Thank you

I would check directly with the company. Since IT IS NOT stated on the can, I DOUBT they are BPA free.

I am sorry- I can not say for sure, but assume yes. Almost all the Pyrex lids out now- replacement lids etc are BPA free.

The bags that are still in the box, say BPA free. I have taken the containers out of box. I have no idea on them. Hope this helps

wait, i do not know that for a fact. i thought they were both dishwasher and microwavable but nothing is stated on the bowls. When I look at the bowls on line they say dishwasher safe and BPA. Thus I am not sure about nuking them '

I have no idea if they are BPA free...you might want to Google that. I don't use them in ways in which that would be a big issue.

Sorry, we haven't tried this yet either. I can tell you that they are run through the dishwasher routinely (which runs on a hot water cycle) and there have been no signs of wear or separation. Overall these bowls have held up since December 2013 when they were purchased. I can say if you use a mixer on them they do scratch, and the lids are by no means water tight, they just sit on the bowl.

Yes, they are BPA free. I contacted the Van Ness company. Their response "Yes, our pet food containers and bowls and litter boxes (all of our products) are BPA Free and USFDA pet food contact approved."

Unsure if they are BPA free, but I have been using them for a while. I have had no problems with food stains, or picking up odors. I make a point of not heating food in them, but have put spagetti sauce (tomato) in them, with no problems. Maybe contact the seller for the BPA concerns, or look them up on the internet?
