Are these containers BPA free? Also, are they durable enough for repeatedly freezing of broths and juices?

Plastic #5 - Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer. It is strong, tough, has a high resistance to heat and acts as a barrier to moisture.Where is Polypropylene found?Yogurt & margarine tubsPlastic cups & baby bottlesKitchenware, microwavable plastic containers and lidsHealth Concerns Most PP are microwavable safe and dishwasher safe. NOTE: microwavable/dishwasher safe only means that the plastic will not warp when heated. It does not imply that it is a healthy practice. A better alternative is using glass containers to heat foods and to hand wash plastic instead of using the dishwasher.- See more at: http://www.babygreenthumb.com/p-122-safe-plastic-numbers-guide.aspx#.dpuf Plastic #5 - Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer.

I don't know if they are BPA free but I would say they would be durable enough for repeatedly freezing of broths. I love mine!!

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

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.

Hi. I don't know if it is BPA or PVC free. For me it's not big deal. This "ice" won't be in contact with the milk. Just with the external part of the container. You won't put it on microwave either. Inside looks like a gel. The plastic is very thick. I've had two of these for five years and they are like new, and they have been used a lot. Regards

Yes, they are made of silicone and BPA free. They are really a great product. They clean up quickly and easily and they are very sturdy, even if you have kids that like to chew on things. I like them for my smoothies. :)

As it is described on there ads, it should be BPA free. I freeze water in it and it lasts well over an hour in the summer, although condensation might stop you from doing it again

Yes, the cans are BPA free and a small number of the lids have BPA, but with this said the processors think all BPA lids will be out of the system.This is the response I got from Pure Alaska Salmon CO.

We use them in a large -20 deg F commercial freezer at an aquarium and they get treated pretty roughly. I have been using them in that setting for 10+years and have never seen one break or crack. We use them for many other purposed too and they are very durable.

Yes, the care & safety instruction sheet states that the containers are BPA free.

lids and rubber sealing rings are bpa free. they work very well when pressure canning or water bath canning. they should work well when fermenting, but just snug down on the lids. over tightening is the major cause of failure when using these lids and rings.

I poach salmon in these bags with no problem and have used them for "boil in a bag" backpacking meals. I read somewhere on the packaging or description they are BPA free (but that is not my area).Cheers,

i have used them in the freezer and also sent them to school with my 4yr old, and they have not leaked or cracked. I make sure they are not filled to the brim and the food is moveable so that they don't explode and keeps the seals in place

I have never used them for freezing food. You can give it a try. they seem spill proof (so far).

The container is made of polycarbonate and I don't know if it is BPA free. It is a great blender, unbeatable in power for frostiness and smoothies.

Yes, they are airtight. I use them though for flavored water, not juicing. They do seal very well.

The container is not glass, but appears to be some type of plaslic. I don't know whether it is BPA free. Hope this helps and you find what you are looking for.

Yes! They are made of silicone which doesn't leach any chemicals. The straws and lids are both silicone and BPA free!
