Is the plastic container BPA free?

Hi Suzanne, I checked on the box and the literature, there is no reference to BPA anywhere; better call Yogourmet and verify this. Best regards,

Rather than comment on whether my container is BPA free I suggest determining whether your container is BPA free. You never know when or if they may switch materials. You can check this by looking for the number inside the recycle triangle. A "7" inside the recycle triangle indicates that the plastic is not BPA free - but not all "7"s contain BPA. A "2","4" or "5" in the triangle indicates it is BPA free and the safest. Your best bet is to ask the mfg'r. Mine is BPA free. To say it is food grade and therefore safe is a bit misleading. Plastics 1 through 7 are all used with food and so are food grade. However, like "7", some have cautions regarding use. Mine is BPA free.

Yes, it is plastic. I called the company, and they told me it was BPA free; although, i did not get documentation from them.

According to this link, yes http://guide.thesoftlanding.com/bpa-and-pvc-free-food-storage-containers/

The box does not say that it is BPA free or indicate the level of BPA it contains and the instructions inside do not say one way or the other. My guess would be that it does contain BPA in plastic.

I am fairly confident that these containers do not contain bpa. The recycling code marked on the containers is a 5, which indicates polypropylene. According to Wikipedia, "plastics that are marked with Resin Identification Codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are very unlikely to contain BPA. Some, but not all, plastics that are marked with the Resin Identification Code 7 may be made with BPA."[40]

I asked the same question before I bought it. I did see a small sign someplace saying it was BPA free. I like this bottle, It is handy to fold it away when packing space and weight is at a premium and when you don't want it leaking all over other stuff.

I have no idea. It's plastic and not advertised as BPA free so I'm betting it's in there!

Yes it's BPA free. It has a "BPA-free" symbol on the right top corner of the packaging.

It is in a plastic jar but it doesn't specifically state BPA free. I assume it is however. It has seemed to be a quality product to me so far.

The actual container is made of metal. The lid and dispensing mechanism and catch tray are plastic and I cannot say if the plastic is BPA free. I can say that this is a great quality unit. Tiger is highly reputable in Japan and i would still recommend this product.

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

Sorry. I gave this as a gift. The recipient is very particular, so if I'm guessing, I'd say it is bpa free.

The container is plastic. I am not aware if these compounds are present or not in the material, but they hold up pretty well.

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.

Yes it is! I emailed the company to ask because I wasn't sure, and they replied saying it's 100% BPA free.
