Looks like the jar is plastic. Would anyone know if it is BPA free? Thanks

I think it's plastic because there is no comment anywhere about the BPA free.

No, Do not know...I am guessing that if it is not listed as BPA free in the marketing materials then it is not.

The jar is glass. It's a very nice heavy jar. Unfortunately, it's the only nice thing about this blender.

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

The person who gave a so-so review mentioned that the plastic is BPA free. They did not dislike the unit that much.....but I remember reading that review and that's what they said if that helps.

There are couple of seller list under this listing. I cannot guaranteed theirs but the jars we sell have special BPA free lids and you can use them for foods. They can also be waterbath for the jams.

I was just on the Thermos website and they only manufacture BPA free items. So yes the Raya food jar is BPA free.

The lid is plastic with what appears to be a rubber type ring to seal the jar. Great product.

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.

You are correct in that the bottle's body has a triangle that is blank in the center. Under the triangle is says "BPA free". Maybe you should contact Rubbermaid directly and post your findings on Amazon. Thanks for your research, in advance.

I am not sure about the plastic jar. I bought it for the glass container and it was a complete replacement of the cutting assembly. Remember that the unit screws and unscrews opposite of normal.

It is plastic but BPA free. We use ours every single day (some times twice a day) and we've had no problems with cracking or marks.

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.

I wish it was, but as it came out long before the BPA news, I doubt it is. I really wish Oster would make a BPA-free updated version of this, because I loved mine! ... for now, it's glass Ball jars. Don't fit well in a cupholder, but less potentially toxic.

Looks like from all of the answers the jar is plastic. I was going to ask this question too. This is a deal breaker....I don't buy things in plastic jars unless I have no choice. I'm have to stick with the other two brands I buy. It's a shame to have an all natural product and put it in a lousy container.

The container is not glass, but appears to be some type of plaslic. I don't know whether it is BPA free. Hope this helps and you find what you are looking for.

I went looking for the same info and found that on the model with the plastic blending jar they say that "BPA free in food zones: blender jar contains no BPA (bisphenol A) which i'm taking to mean that the lid DOES have BPA. Really unfortunate. Here is the link: http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/personal-blenders-single-serve-blender-with-travel-lid-white-51101.html
