The lid will in all likelihood will be in contact with the food. Are the lids BPA free?

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.

I believe not. My husband bought them and he shops for price, not safety. There was no indication on the packaging that they are bpa free and they had that new plastic smell that I now associate with bpa containing products.

All Tupperware is BPA free. It did not used to be, but it is now & has been for several years.

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

I do not see any markings that indicate that these lids are BPA-free. The bigger concern is the composition of the glass itself. Corning divested its interests in 1998 and, with that, the original formula of borosilicate glass was changed to soda-lime glass, a cheaper and more volatile composition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrex. I have both the original and current version of these ribbed glass storage bowls. The earlier is heavier and will likely outlast the modern version by generations.

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 just called the company and they said all the food contact surfaces are BPA Free.

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

The lid has no plastic. It is stainless steel. No food touches any plastic.

This one that I purchased are Metal lids. I have no idea if they are BPA free...doesn't say on jar or box.

I believe that they are BPA free. Most all organically grown foods are not placed into cans that have BPA.

Yes, it says "BPA free" on the bottom. The shape is great for fitting into lunchboxes. I really like these!

The US does not allow food containers to contain BPA anymore, so anything that is being made and sold in the US with the purpose of touching food should be BPA-free.

The lid is BPA-free plastic. It says so on the Contigo website and in the Amazon description.

The lid does not say it is, so I would think not but my food will only be covered with the lid not touching. Not sure if it makes any difference or not.

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.

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.
