Lisa,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Safety is our top priority at Gerber Products Company, and we have an 80-year history of helping parents raise happy, healthy babies. Gerber confirms the safety of all our products and we encourage our consumers to always contact us immediately if they have a question or concern.

Regarding your question concerning number 7 plastic package of pureed baby food, bisphenol A is not used in making the plastic cups for Gerber puree products.

The FDA has considered the relevant data available on Bisphenol A and concluded that these compounds can be safely used under the conditions established by the FDA. BPA when used as a component of packaging has played an important role in maintaining and protecting product quality and safety for many years. Gerber believes that when used as intended by FDA, these products are safe.

Parents with questions are welcome to contact our Gerber Parents Resource Center, which is open for consumer calls 24-hours a day, 365-days per year. The telephone number for the Parents Resource Center is 1-800-4-Gerber.

Best wishes from your friends @ gerber.com.[/b]

Ya know, I hate how these companies shrug it off and say "well the FDA says it's ok"...

WE are the consumers, WE should be the ones who get a say in what they use in their products. But at least they are saying the containers don't have BPA in them.

yeah i agree i also emailed camelback about my water bottle and they called me and the guy just kept repeating the thing about the fda i then straight out asked him if he drinks from bottles with bpa in them and he just kept going around my question and mentioning the fda thing. They are sending me a free water bottle that has no bpa in it so that makes me happy lol

I had to straight out ask Gerber for a free cup lol they just sent me a coupon for $5 off any gerber product. I'm glad they don't use BPA in the containers... It will be nice to have some on hand for when I don't feel like making baby food lol

I'm also glad to find out that they don't have BPA in the plastic food containers
