 No BPA, but price is a bit much August 21, 2008

I've gotten these for around a dollar per 2-pack at my grocery store, so the price here isn't that great (though the convenience of them showing at the door might make it worthwhile). But skip for the price, not for the BPA. There is no BPA in them. See their website:

I know the BPA stuff is scary, but you have to be careful before you put reviews up on websites that scare new mothers for no reason, especially since many mothers use this and don't need the guilt of thinking they've been unknowingly harming their children. I used these packs with my older child and now with my baby, and they are very convenient for diaper-bag use - no breakage! I skip them for home use since they don't recycle, and our grocery store has a good/cheap organic line packed in glass.
Safe! Do your research! August 19, 2008

From the Gerber website:
BPA is not used in making the plastic cups for GERBER pureed baby food products. It is important to note that even products with the number 7 plastic are not made with BPA, (the number 7 refers to recycling information, not the presence of BPA).
We have confirmed with Gerber that their organic baby food containers are a mix of plastic types numbers 1 and 2 and because they are a mix, they are not recyclable under either such category and are given a number 7 code for recycling. See the ZReport on BPA for more information.
 Not BPA free? July 10, 2008

I have to agree with the other reviewer that the package is not consistent with the Organic contents. When I looked at the bottom of the container, I was surprised to find that it is made from plastic #7, which is known to leach BPA.
 Organic? May be. Safe? No! May 7, 2008

They package their product in plastic containers while boiling hot. Does "organic" make sense after that?
 Awesome Baby Carrots! April 6, 2008

My daughter LOVES these carrots. I like to make my own baby food, but with all the concerns about nitrate levels in vegetables - specifically carrots - I choose to buy these pre-made since I know that Gerber screens for nitrates in all their products. These have a great consistency and are not too thick, and not too thin. I've even tasted them and they are quite good. They have a rich, fresh carrot flavor that doesn't resemble over-cooked, canned carrots. I highly recommend these.
