is this container food safe?

I do not believe this is intended for food. We are not using it for food. This company does make other containers that are designed for food.

Probably. If you are storing for an emergency, a glass storage container will keep the taste better, as will stainless (and stainless is not breakable). But if it's going to be used from time to time, it ought to be okay.

Doubt it because it is not food safe. If your child isnt going to lick it, however, I wouldn't worry.

Rather than comment on whether my container is BPA free I suggest determining whether your container is BPA free. You never know when or if they may switch materials. You can check this by looking for the number inside the recycle triangle. A "7" inside the recycle triangle indicates that the plastic is not BPA free - but not all "7"s contain BPA. A "2","4" or "5" in the triangle indicates it is BPA free and the safest. Your best bet is to ask the mfg'r. Mine is BPA free. To say it is food grade and therefore safe is a bit misleading. Plastics 1 through 7 are all used with food and so are food grade. However, like "7", some have cautions regarding use. Mine is BPA free.

According to this link, yes http://guide.thesoftlanding.com/bpa-and-pvc-free-food-storage-containers/

If you heat food in a plastic container you increase the risk of contaminating your food with plastic molecules. In short, don't heat foods in plastic containers if you are concerned,

I am not sure. I would imagine that the container would be made of food grade plastic but you might want to contact the manufacture to get a good answer to your question. To tell you the truth, I never thought about the container leaching chemicals.

The product doesn't say so. But as this product is not for storing food, though just measuring, the very short contact with the food doesn't produce any health issues if it has BPA.

No. It should be treated the same as any microwave-safe plastic container. It is very easy to hand wash. I have 2 and use them for a variety of foods, especially Chinese cuisine where I have several dishes like spring/egg rolls, fried rice and a stir fry entrée. Well worth the price.

It clearly shows on the back of the box that the item is safe for indoor use as well as in the kitchen. Please make sure not to place on any food prep areas.

only don't put the gel section in the microwave, the lid and the container are safe, just leave the lid a little lose and you will not have any problems.

Yes. The container is food grade plastic and is thick enough to be bounced around in a boat without breaking

If you're storing dry dog food in this container, I would not recommend you store ANY food at 115 F in ANY container. It's not the container I'm worried about, but the food may turn rancid at that temp. Depends on what you are storing. You should ask the manufacturer if their product would hold up at that temp.

April I cannot say it is for sure. But I have emailed the seller and will post their response when I get it. **Update** I received a response from WFN and the container is BPA free!!

I do not think it will go bad if it is sealed in a good container, like Tupperware, kept dry, and if sealed bugs will be kept out.

for the most part, yes. The compartments you put your food in are plastic and the box is plastic but there's a metal plate on the bottom that does the warming of the food. the plastic compartments are microwave safe as well.

It is NOT. On the bottom there are 2 symbols: food safe (thank goodness!) and dishwasher safe. But definitely a great little cup. Worth warming up whatever it is in a different container and transferring.
