Is there a seal on the lid of this jar? Would food stay fresh? Or is the lid just sitting on top with no seal?

There is no seal, it just rests on top. I would not use it to keep food items in, unless it were something like candy that does not go stale.

It just sits on top. No real seal. I don't store food in it, so I'm not sure if food would stay fresh.

No no seal just a regular top. The container store has a larger one with a seal for 12.99

Yes, there is a flexible plastic seal on the lid that does seam to seal pretty well. I keep cookies in the jar and they remain fresh, and I have to admit, they don't always last that long in the jar at my house.

It's a screw-on lid, and there is no silicone gasket to keep it sealed. However, it is a very tightly fitting lid. I haven't had any problem with herbs in them but I'd avoid finely ground spices that might get in the grooves of the lid and make it difficult to close.

The lid just sits on top. No real seal to it. I would go for the insulated carrier if you are going very far.

I don't think the lid is supposed to be airtight. Mine has a small amount of unlevel, but it works perfectly fine. My experience in all my glass lid (metal edged) lids on crock pots is that once the moisture rises to the lid and flows to the lid edge a sort of water-seal forms with the shoulder of the crock and there is no unacceptable moisture loss.

mine came with a seal inside , like the thin seal when you take the lid off, I've ordered thru Amazon , sellers have varied . but the ones i've bought thru were all good sellers, and the product was full and fresh , and seemed just like what I bought thru stores of parlors .

From the experience I have with this Jar, I believe it is up to the task. The jar comes with a silicone piece of material that creates a tight seal, also the metal hinge is strong and will keep the jar closed. I have tested the jar with water inside and there were no leakages. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck.

It has a regular lid for a jar which is airtight. I have not repackaged mine and have had previous jars this size open for very long periods of time. It lasts just fine.

No, there is no seal. It is made like the traditional fine china sugar bowls.

I just looked at ours and it appears to be completely sealed. Hope this helps!

No seal, just sits on top - not loosely, but not securely either. Could fall off if you don't grab it properly. Hope this helps.

If fully screwed onto the jar, they are as airtight. They are not, of course, as airtight as something that is canned using rings/lids but for basic storage of dry goods or wet goods in the refrigerator they'll keep food fresh for quite a while. We use them as lids for things such as salsa and jam once opened and placed in the refrigerator. The salsa/jam lasts at least a week without any issue. Dry goods will store much longer, obviously.

It does not have a seal. It actually has several air holes on back of lid. Our bread is actually staying fresh at least 2x as long however.

Mine was not sealed. I've purchased 4 and none have been sealed - no issues, always fresh and a great product.

I have never had a problem with the seal. Although you don't have that little bump you have in other jars, this one is just a matter of trust. I tighten the lid really good. When I make jam and after I put the lid on, I just tighten the lid, turn the jar upside down (Inversion) and set for 5 minutes. Turn over and it is sealed. Now remember the jam is hot and would seal as would a ball lid on a jelly jar. Are you putting in a cold liquid or hot liquid? Cold may make a difference.
