Do PET bottles or containers contain BPA?
No. PET does not contain BPA. Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a compound used to make polycarbonate, a different type of plastic that’s found in some baby bottles, the lining of metal cans, and reusable sports bottles. PET does not contain BPA and never has. Some legislators and consumer groups are concerned there might be a possible connection between BPA in polycarbonate and possible developmental or reproductive disorders, although BPA has been extensively studied and ruled safe by international health authorities. These concerns have caused some confusion about which plastics contain BPA, but PET does not contain BPA.
