What plastic are the containers and lids made from, PET, PP.....?

I'm sure it's not PET, same for polypropylene, polycarbonate is a possibility but the clarity seems a bit better than that, not to mention the price is a tad more reasonable. I'm a carpenter and not a chemist so this is only a guess - I'm going with Acrylic, based only on clarity and price. One thing to keep in mind is that I use these jars to store meds for a cat who might only live another six months so I'm not worried about contaminants. If you're young enough to be worried about out gassing, BPA or other possible plastic corruption to foodstuffs then store them in glass only.

They are made of plastic. If you have had problems with plastic containers before, I would recommend something else made of glass.

I don't know what the container is made of. The compost bin has done a wonderful job in composting!

Some sort of plastic. I didn't keep the packaging so I'm not 100% sure, sorry. But the pas, lids, spatulas, and food are all plastic

Thank you for your question. The trays and lids are made out of polyporpylene - PP5 - which does not contain bisphenols.

Yes, they are BPA free. I contacted the Van Ness company. Their response "Yes, our pet food containers and bowls and litter boxes (all of our products) are BPA Free and USFDA pet food contact approved."

Jars are glass. Straws and lids are plastic. I'm not clear that grommets are food grade plastic. I'd guess they are not. Love to you in your search!

Plastic. All the metal pieces are covering plastic. I've since had more issues with gaskets and all the metal has fallen off the thermos.

No, heavy plastic. Great containers with tight-fitting lids. I use them for packing homemade yogurt in my lunch. Dropped one and chpped the bottom edge, but it still works fine. A glass container would have broken. Five stars!

They are polycarbonate and I have stored food in them with no problem, as many food containers are made the same way. Be aware that once you tighten the cap down fully, it locks a tamper ring, and when you unscrew it, it breaks the ring off showing it has been opened. Does not impede future use though.

This product is manufactured by vanesse plastics, it is made in the USA and manufactured in New Jersey. their website is vanesseplastics.com, they have been a leader ( according to their website) in eco friendly containers the website says on the containers in question, that its is made from USFDA food container approved plastics ( safe for pets ) ..... as far as the chemical composition and being BPA free that is something that you would have to specifically ask them .... but they are a solid company, and make a great product .

According to the details listed on Amazon: "Made From United States Food and Drug Administration Approved Plastic That's Safe for Food and Water Contact." Hope this helps!
