Is the material BPA free?

I second Sylwia's post. The lid may not be BPA free. That typed, the stuff they use to replace BPA is just as bad as BPA, so if it's a concern for you, I'd recommend going with something that is stainless steel all the way.

I no longer have the product tag but, to my knowledge, Thermos brand thermoses manufactured at the Rolling Meadows facility - as is the Raya - don't contain BPA. There's a press release (2009) stating that as fact.

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

Calvin I did some research on your question and there was nothing I could find to say that the Thermos Raya is BPA free. The part of the flask that is not stainless steel is the inside of the screw on lid which is a plastic material. Nowhere could I find the "BPA Free" notation so I would go with not BPA Free to be safe.

Just found this on the Thermos website: "Bisphenol A (BPA) is a controversial chemical that can be found in the lining of food cans, certain water bottles and more. Some researchers have linked the hormone-mimicking chemical to a host of issues including behavioral and developmental effects in kids. Thermos plays it safe, and has made a commitment to only manufacture products that are BPA-free."

Hi. The thermos is stainless. The only non-stainless part is the bottom of the lead that screws on and the insulating rubber band- and I dont know if they are BPA free. Hope that helps

I have no idea if it's lead-free or not (im assuming since it's made in the USA that it is) and BPA is only located in plastic so yes, it is BPA-free.

I do not know for sure, but I am fairly certain that nothing on it or it's packaging said it was BPA free.

Yes it is free of BPA. This should answer your question: http://westbend.com/support/product-faqs/materials-statements/plastics.html

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.

I just chatted with an Amazon customer service rep who checked their internal catalogs to confirm that IT IS BPA FREE! Hope this helps.

Yes, it is plastic & BPA free. I would like it better if it were glass but it works well.

Yes. It's definitely BPA free. I just saw the other reply. Edit: I could have sworn it was labeled BPA free. Sorry. I see from the website that they used to be labelled BPA free but removed it and are working on the issue. They also offer it in glass jars, which I prefer.

No reference is made on the packaging to indicate BPA free. You'll need to check their website. The packaging is vaccuum packed foil interior with a plastic coated exterior (from appearance).

Yes, it is. There's a mark on the front of the packaging indicating that it is BPA free.

I don't believe so- I didn't see anything on the box or info pamphlet about being BPA free.

Don't know if it's BPA free but there is no plastic inside other than the cover.

Hi, It has been a while since I purchased this and I do not recall the packaging mentioning BPA free. I apologize for not being able to help you with this question. I was/am very satisfied with the product. I hope that it will work for you.
