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.

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.

These bowls are stainless steel and not made out of plastic, so yes, they must be BPA free.. Now as to the lids which are indeed plastic, from my best guess, they probably do contain BPA - but since they don't touch what's inside, this may not be an issue

Did you check the company's website? In the FAQ's section it clearly states: "Our pour caps are made of FDA-approved BPA-free number "5" Polypropylene plastic. While it is not the organically-derived (i.e. plant/bio-based) plastic typically used in disposable products, it is recommended as the safest choice for food and beverages." If this is not sufficient details for you, then contact the company directly. Because the food is in contact with the lid only briefly and we do not heat the lid, I am not particularly worried about possible leaching. I'm so happy to have a lid that works!

I wasn't sure which Ball lids you were asking about, as I have ordered different ones at various times. The Ball design series lids with bands which are blue states on the box these are BPA Free. I hope this a help to you.

Oh Good question! I believe so. The lid is a number 5 plastic (polypropylene) and from my quick search on the internet it is BPA free. But then again I am getting my info from the internet... :-) 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.

The lid does have plastic in the threads that screw the top to the container, but none of it touches your food; only stainless steel is in contact with your food.

Yes, the lid is plastic, if the thermo is not up right the food can make contact.

No, the lid is a plastic lid, unless Amazon sells an alternative lid, then no. Hope this helps.

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.

The inside of the lids say they are not oven proof. But they are safe for the refrigerator, and dishwasher and freezer and the microwave.

The lids are the only piece that are plastic, thus the only reason it would be labeled BPA free is if the lids are BPA free. BPA is not used in manufacturing glass. So... yes, the lids are BPA free.
