Is this container BPA free?

It seems people do not know. It would be nice if the manufacturer would answer this because it is an important factor.

IRIS does make some BPA-free containers, but this doesn't appear to be one of them (there's no mention of it on the product page: http://irisusainc.com/p-539-nmp-xl.aspx). The 65 QT MP 400 is described as BPA-free here: http://irisusainc.com/p-800-mp-400.aspx.

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.

There is no indication on the container it is BPA free. It states on the container lid the name ROPAK 1-800-367-3779, and made in the USA. I called that number and it is not a working number.

It doesn't notate that it's BPA free. However, the plastic components are only on the base and handle. They really don't come into direct contace with the water inside.

I'm afraid I gave it to my mom a while ago because it was too big for my fridge, so I can't look for myself...but another reviewer says that it is indeed BPA-free.

I wrote to the company and received a reply saying the container is BPA free.

Yes it is BPA free. They are reusable after rinsing with warm soapy water and air drying. They provide you with a funnel to pour the liquid into the vessels without any spillage. I think mine leaked slightly (not much) because I did not screw the top on tightly.

I looked at the box and it doesn't mention if it is bpa free or not. Maybe the reynolds web site will mention something regarding this.

The container is some form of polycarbonate (no symbol) as far as I know. NSF but not sure if it is BPA free or not. I don't recall seeing anything mentioning it.

I no longer have the box, and it doesn't say on the product, but I went to the rubbermaid site and they are listed as bpa free. many of the rubbermaid products are bpa free.

I don't know if this product is BPA free. It doesn't matter so much to me because I use mine mainly for storing cheese, which I wrap in a bit of wax paper, so the cheese doesn't actually touch the plastic anyway. If I'm storing fresh berries, I put a layer of slightly damp paper towel between the berries and the container.

Hi, according to the manufacturer's website (Great American Spillproof Products) it is BPA-free.

According to their website, it is BPA-free... most of their products are, and if they are not, they mention it. It's a great product, I highly recommend!

I am fairly confident that these containers do not contain bpa. The recycling code marked on the containers is a 5, which indicates polypropylene. According to Wikipedia, "plastics that are marked with Resin Identification Codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are very unlikely to contain BPA. Some, but not all, plastics that are marked with the Resin Identification Code 7 may be made with BPA."[40]

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

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.
