is plastic jar bpa free?

I have read the front and back labels and there is no reference to the jar being bpa free or not.

Connie, I can't find anything on the plastic jar that says "BPH free." You might call a local Trader Joe's and ask them.

It makes no sense to me that they are making these things raw, organic, unprocessed then stick in a BPA jar!

I returned the item because it worked poorly. The discs are plastic; don't know if 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!)

I have no idea. It's plastic and not advertised as BPA free so I'm betting it's in there!

I went looking for the same info and found that on the model with the plastic blending jar they say that "BPA free in food zones: blender jar contains no BPA (bisphenol A) which i'm taking to mean that the lid DOES have BPA. Really unfortunate. Here is the link: http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/personal-blenders-single-serve-blender-with-travel-lid-white-51101.html

It doesn't matter if the plastic is BPA free or not. The chemical that BPA replaced was toxic & whatever the chemical used to replace BPA will also be toxic. Using petroleum based plastic in food products is not very smart, unless you like consuming carcinogens�

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 am sorry, nothing in the packaging tells me if the plastic is BPA free. You could call the manufacturer, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. at 1-888-901-2739 or check their website, www.GreenMountainCoffee.com.

Yes it is BPA free, I called and they said all their plastics were BPA free. The tip drips sometimes so I leave it standing when not using it.

I no longer have the package so can't say for sure. But I did read once that the replacement for BPA has its drawbacks also. I'm very happy with my Glad containers as they stack well and are durable. I also have the Ziploc screw on jars. This new generation of light weight containers don't take up as much room and work just as well as the old fashioned heavy duty ones.

No, there is a little plastic as well, which they say is BPA free. I'm sure you can call the company and ask to confirm.

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.

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

in the quart jars it is glass. The large tubs are plastic but I do not know if they are BPA free you will have to contact the seller. I've only bought the smaller quantities in glass jars.

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)

I asked the same question before I bought it. I did see a small sign someplace saying it was BPA free. I like this bottle, It is handy to fold it away when packing space and weight is at a premium and when you don't want it leaking all over other stuff.

I was just on the Thermos website and they only manufacture BPA free items. So yes the Raya food jar is BPA free.
