They had a similar explanation regarding the oxygen barrier as Mott’s above, which gives me confidence in their response. They state they do not use polycarbonate (and thus no BPA) in any of their packaging. I contacted Tree Top with the same question about their single serve applesauce containers and other products, because the ones I bought have a #7.

I received an email response and thought I would post it for all to have a look at….It seems to be different information than that posted above, so now I am not sure what to think? Hi there….I was very concerned with this post and contacted Mott’s myself about their no sugar added fruitsations applesauce line (as that is what my little man loves!).

Many leading experts argue that the use of Bisphenol is safe to the human public but research may begin to further prove otherwise. There is a risk of absorbing this chemical through the use of containing foods and liquids but can also leech into our water systems through landfills. Many companies use this chemical in their packaging including cans, soda cans, and plastic food containers. Effects at even low BPA exposure include prostate cancer, breast cancer, early puberty onset, alterations in gender-specific behavior, decreased sperm count, affects on fertility, behavioral effects including hyperactivity, increased aggressiveness, impaired learning and other changes in behavior, and other problems. BPA can leach from polycarbonate plastic, usually a hard, clear plastic that is common of many products we use everyday. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical that mimics the action of the human hormone estrogen, which alters our body’s natural pattern. Earth’s Best may also pose the same dilemma.īisphenol A is a harmful chemical found in polycarbonate plastic which is used to make many popular baby bottles and sippy cups, among other things. I have seen Whole Foods Kids single-serve applesauce in #5 and #7 containers, so it’s an issue apparently not limited to Mott’s. Sure is frustrating, but hopefully the FDA will come to their senses soon and ban this toxic substance. Mott’s maintains the FDA says #7 is safe, but we know better, don’t we! So, my advice is to either avoid Mott’s (and possibly all single serve applesauce and fruit) or check the bottom each and every time you make a purchase to make sure you are not selecting a #7 container. #7 of course is polycarbonate, containing bisphenol-a or BPA, a toxic substance known to cause cancer and other serious health problems (see below under “What is Bisphenol A?”. Flip over one of Mott’s single-serve applesauce containers and you may find the dreaded #7. I just called Mott’s and they confirmed they do use #7 polycarbonate for some applesauce containers including those in the organic line, but that #1 is also used. ![]()
