Per the Nutiva website: Nutiva packages our oil in three types of materials: Glass jars, clear PET and white HDPE. We have found the white HDPE holds up better for shipping via UPS or USPS during the hot summer months. Also note Nutiva containers are made without BPA. Bisphenol A or BPA is used in some plastics and tin cans.

The yellow lid itself is made of Polypropylene (PP) which is BPA & Phthalates Free. The Jar is made of Polyethylene (PETE) which is also BPA & Phthalates Free.

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.

yes all the parts are bpa, lead and phalate free, even the storage tray. Also the glass jars are very strong. I droped one from about 4 or 5 feet onto a cement floor and there wasnr any fracture whatsoever. Theyer pretty awesome.

I don't see any BPA Free mark. Even if it is BPA free, there are still plenty of chemicals in it that create estrogen. I would have prefered glass as well. Since it is plastic, it is important not to put it in the freezer (to keep your smoothie frozen while you drink the rest) and don't put it in the dish washer - I keep all plastics out of my dish washer. I should mention about no plastics in the dishwasher - before I started this practice in my house, I was having sweats like I was in menopause, but I wasn't. Once I stopped putting plastic in the dishwasher (not even plastic handled knives or pot lids with plastic knobs), microwave and freezer (and stopped drinking bottled water) the sweats went away.

The new jar that we are shipping in is recyclable HDPE plastic. As of this week, we are filling our new 100% post consumer plastic jar made from old milk jugs and the like.

NEW INFORMATION. I wrote directly to Libbey Glass and asked the question. Here is the response I got pasted from their reply: "Thank you for contacting Libbey glass. The material is BPA free. It is a polyethylene material." I can believe this; the material behaves like polyethylene of which there are many versions, and polyethylene is used in many medical implanted devices as well as a great deal of hospital equipment, e.g. IV bags and tubes and also in public water supplies. It's okay. This is my previous comment: The plastic parts are definitely NOT silicone. I've not yet been able to determine for certain what they are. I'm intrigued by Erika's comment suggesting there are two versions of the jar, one of which may have a silicone seal. The ones I received from Amazon do not have silicone seals, but polyethylene is perfectly safe in my opinion.

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

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.

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 agree with Nathans answer. Only item to have BPA would be plastic lids. And it is clearly stated BPA free.

I'm not sure, but it's bpa free plastic and they've been working really well for me. Large containers!

Greetings, Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure of the plastic composition. I would hope they are BPA free, but since I wasn't going to heat the contents, I wasn't as concerned. As it turns out, I'm not using them as I had hoped too. My homemade deodorant is more if a creamy texture and works best when applied to clean skin in the same manner as a body butter. ( so I use a recycled food grade container.) sorry I couldn't be of more help. ( if the distributor doesn't have an answer for you, and its definitely a concern, I'd advise finding some that are advertised as safe. (I bought my lip balm containers that are food safe on etsy!!) hope this helps. Have a nice holiday
