I read a few articles that stated plastic formula containers are safe. I just spoke with a Similac representative over the phone and she stated that the 32 ounce ready-to-feed bottles of Similac formulas are BPA free. Again, she also stated that the cans of powdered are lined on the lids and may have traces of BPA. Even though the plastic bottles are more expensive,I feel better using this formula.

We don't care if Similac says BPA is safe, we don't want it anywhere near formula. That's what they need to understand, or parents will not buy their product. We will continue to ask Similac and other formula manufacturers to stop using ANY BPA in all of their products, period. And we have every right to do so as consumers and concerned parents. @Natalia:

This post is a free speech reaction to something someone else said. So we aren't concerned with Similac's threats. @Natalia:

The only place where BPA is used is in the lids, which do not come in contact with the formula. They will be taking your page about Similac's response to their Public Affairs Department. Bottom line, the Similac milk bottles are BPA free, except for their lids.
