Is the metal lid of the container lined with bisphenol-A (BPA), bisphenol-S, (BPS) or phthalates to prevent it from rusting, if not what type of lining is used?

I don't think it's going to rust if it only contains oil. Many olive oils are sold in cans and they do not rust.

Yes it is. There is no plastic lining on the inside of this cup. It is just stainless steel. The BPA in canned goods is found in the thin plastic lining on the inside of the cans. You can feel it with your hands. This mug has no such lining.

I got this off the steamer's manufacturer's website: "Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical commonly used to make polycarbonate plastic, a clear, shatter-proof material. Progressive makes a conscious effort to avoid these materials when designing and producing our kitchen products."

No absolutely no BPA. We only use inert plastics that do not contain BPA. For parts in contact with water, we also do not use reprocessed or colored plastics. Reprocessed and colored plastics are sometimes contaminated with heavy metals, arsenic, lead, antimony, cadmium, etc. You can google reprocessed plastic heavy metal contamination or colored plastic heavy metal contamination for more information. Some water coolers use reprocessed plastics to save money. And others use colored plastics in contact with water for cosmetic reasons. We stay clear away from any materials that leach toxins, such as BPA or heavy metals.

My husband believes the lid and paddle are made of a plastic called polypropylene. They contain no BPA type chemicals. I love this iced tea jar.

BPA is a concern in clear plastics. The container for hot food has a metal interior, the smaller ones are plastic that is unspecified.

Plastic silicon. Which is one of the safer plastics.Even w/o the little clear sheild on top it doesn't seem to leak much.

It's got a recycle # of 5 and it's not lines. according to the web: 'Safe' metal bottles that are most likely BPA-free are those made of stainless steel, which are more corrosion resistant. Stainless steel bottles tend not to have any epoxy resin liners. (http://www.worldpublicunion.org/2013-06-01-NEWS-plastic-numbers-to-avoid-bpa-numbers.html) I hope that helps.

I am sure it doesn't contain BPA or Lead but I don't know what is the Phthalates so I can't answer this one

I contacted the company and this is their response: "Our bottles and packaging are free from BPA and BPS, phthalates and other hormone disrupters. We have no such ingredients in our products either." Sorry it took so long.

There isn't a porcelain lining if that is what you are asking. It is strictly a metal lid.

I do not recall anything on the packaging saying one way or another, but the utensils are made of 100% lexan and according to what I found: The bulk of the research shows that Plastic #7 (Lexan, Nalgene and other polycarbonate) bottles do not leach bisphenol A in amounts proven to cause health concerns in humans. Also, the plate set is made of polypropolene which according to what I found polypropylene nor melamine contain two of the toxins that have raised concern in recent years: bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates. Sorry I cannot be more specific. I have had this item for some time.

According to the website, "all Sterilite food storage and kitchen items are BPA-free and phthalate-free." http://www.sterilite.com/food_storage.html

As it states in the product description "BPA free polypropylene container and lid"

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!

Snapware states that all their products are BPA-free. I found no statement about phthalate,, though (which is, I think, what you are referring to). I don't use these containers for food, but to organize small household items. For this purpose I have been very pleased with Snapware stackable containers.

They are made of Tritan, a bpa-free copolymer similar to polycarbonate. I do not know if the lids fit the old black lidded containers add my prior plastic ware had curved blue lids.
