Are the lids BPA free?

I really have no idea but you can't put them in the microwave or oven. They actually don't touch the food in the dish anyway or you have overfilled the dish.

Yes, it says BPA free on the box...and you need to worry about BPA coming in contact with your food and beverages always; not just when microwaving.

I'm not sure, but that is mostly a concern with things you put in the microwave, and the lids are NOT microwavable.

Claudia, I cannot attest to these jar lids being BPA-free, however, the following link takes you to the 4 oz Ball jars which apparently DO HAVE the new BPA-free lids. I found the BPA-free answer under one of the questions specifically asking if the lids were BPA-free for canning baby food. I hope this helps. :) Ball Jar Crystal Jelly Jars with Lids and Bands, Quilted, 4-Ounce, Set of 12

I know they are BPA free plastic, I don't know if it's this specific kind you mentioned.

The jars are silicone, so they are bpa free. It is nice because if you make your own food and freeze it, the food thaws quickly in these containers- I just put mine in hot water.

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.

As far as I know it is BPA free. That's what it says on the box and so I believe they are.

Yes they are. They are also BPA free and top rack dishwasher safe. We love the lids with an opening for a straw.

I have no idea if they are BPA free...you might want to Google that. I don't use them in ways in which that would be a big issue.

Hi N. Alexander, Great question. Yes, all of our jars and lids we use are BPA-Free. Our jars are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and our lids are made of polypropylene (PP) both of which are naturally BPA-Free. Also, the F217 liner (the liner present in the top of both of our two different size lids) is BPA free. The F217 liner core is made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and it's between two layers of solid LDPE. Here is a blog post on the Container & Packaging Supply company's blog about BPA and BPA-Free products (Note: about half way down the page look for "Not All Plastic Has BPA." to find that HDPE and PP is BPA-Free. Also, the second to last paragraph in the body of the post explains what plastics are BPA free.): http://www.containerandpackaging.com/blog/2012/06/why-it-wont-kill-you-bisphenol-a-bpa-and-the-defamed-plastic-bottles/ Here are two other useful links: http://www.livestrong.com/article/158674-which-plastic-containers-can-i-safely-use/ http://www.reuseit.com/product-materials/the-7-most-common-plastics-and-how-they-are-typically-used.htm Hope this helps. I'm sorry for the delay in answering your question. That is out of character for our company's response time. The main reason for the delay is that we as sellers aren't notified of questions that are posted in Amazon Answers like yours was. We do monitor new questions and for some reason we simply didn't see it listed. Please accept our apologies.

I have never seen it claimed anywhere that they are BPA-free so I doubt it.

The glass lids are. I don't know about the plastic ones. I personally wouldn't use the plastic ones in the microwave.

This listing is for four lids and straws to add to your own mason jars. The lids and straws are both BPA free.

Sure! These are made of clear plastic. They are thicker & more durable than the containers I have gotten from the supermarket deli. They are microwave safe & the recycle # at the bottom is "5". The manufacturer does not advertise them as BPA safe, so I assume that they not. Hope that helps!

The lids are traditional Kerr Metal canning lids. They where safe for me when I was a kid many years ago and I do not think that they have changed much over the years. We still trust them. I have not heard of BPA plastic being used in the seals. (Don't use the glass jar in the microwave with the metal lid in place!)

yes they are plastic, but not sure about BPA free, I'd contact manufacturer for reassurance on that.It's a REALLY nice kit!
