Is the plastic container BPA Free?

Hello Jennifer, I mostly purchase the glass containers. I have one plastic container and it does not say anywhere on it whether it is BPA free. I would guess that it would be, but I am not certain at all. Katherine

I honestly do not know if it is, but i hope so. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer to find out.

I don't think that I came across a definitive answer... The bottom of the Kelap Coconut Oil carries the PETE 1 symbol. The following information came from www.nrdc.org/thisgreenlife: "#1 (PET or PETE) plastic is the kind used for bottled water bottles, which are generally regarded as safe. They have been shown to leach antimony into the water in a couple of studies, but at levels considered safe by the EPA. The scare about their leaching DEHA if reused, which you may have come across, turns out to be an urban legend. If there is any risk from reuse, it probably comes from bacterial contamination." An interesting twist is that just because an item is PBA free, doesn't mean that it is health risk free. Google "Is PETE 1 PBA free?" and follow some of the leads. Also contact the Kelapo company itself. I have no definitive answer. Personally, I am at the point that "if PETE 1 is safe for one time use, I am going to use it for now, since it is a quality product. An alternate is to put the coconut oil in another container, such as glass or stainless steel. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's a crazy world when one is trying to eat healthy, and one has to worry about the containers that the healthy foods come in!

I checked on-line and I do not think the container is BPA free, but you can get an upgraded one for about $35.00 at this site--http://www.discountjuicers.com/vitamixcontainer.html Wish you the best. Leigh

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

Yes, it is plastic & BPA free. I would like it better if it were glass but it works well.

I don't know if this product is BPA free. It doesn't matter so much to me because I use mine mainly for storing cheese, which I wrap in a bit of wax paper, so the cheese doesn't actually touch the plastic anyway. If I'm storing fresh berries, I put a layer of slightly damp paper towel between the berries and the container.

Short of a laboratory test, I suppose you just have to take the seller's word for it. Not very different from any container advertised as "BPA free" bought at the supermarket -regardless of statements to that effect on the packaging or elsewhere, short of a laboratory test you cannot possibly be 100% sure that indeed the container is BPA free.

Hello Anne. There is no indication that this jug is BPA free nor do I expect it to be so. A good majority of containers (especially those used in the fields of medicine or other sciences) contain BPA to improve the overall durability of the plastic. It is also important to note that this item is not made from HDPE but from LDPE- the description is a bit misleading to some.

Yes it is BPA free. When you get it, there will be a BPA free sticker on it. I love these bottles for the kids.

I don't know if it is BPA free, but the recycle sign (triangle) on the bottom has a 1 in it. According to Mayo Clinic, plastics marked with 3 - 7 are NOT BPA free. However, since this container is a 1 then my assumption would be that it is BPA free. The top does not have a lock. I use the container in the processing of a skin product I make, I do not use it for consumables.

I checked, and I cant find anywhere where it says BPA free, so Im going to assume its not BPA free.

No. It's plastic or similar which is a big bummer as I don't see any signal that it is BPA - free. If someone knows if it is BPA -free please mention! Thanks! Otherwise it's nice design in every way.

Michael, Re Oggi container: Good question. I don't know if it's BPA free. It's made in China, so, you know, you never know what you're going to get ... I use it for food waste, so I don't worry about it in this case.

It's plastic, not really sure whether it's bpa free. We hardly used it. We bought a thermos that stainless inside work better. Hope this help.

I don't know if it is BPA free but it is an entirely plastic spigot. There is a rubber piece in between the glass jar and the plastic spigot.
