BPA-free

Lacking harmful plasticizer

BPA-free describes products made without bisphenol A, a chemical compound used in plastics and epoxy resins.

The label appears on water bottles, food containers, and baby products, responding to concerns that BPA may leach into food and disrupt hormones: Look for BPA-free containers for storing leftovers.
