Question from Mrs. Chris
CamelBak water bottles are tritan plastic and claim to be BPA free. They have a bite-valve and straw that runs into the bottle so it is used without tipping. Are these truly a safe bottle?
Debra’s Answer
A study I wrote about at Q&A: Study Shows Which Water Bottles Leach BPA verified that bottles made from tritan do NOT leach BPA, however tritan is a plastic so I have to approach it with caution. I don’t know what it may or may not be leaching. It’s an uncertainty. I have no evidence of it leaching toxic substances.
Glass it still my #1 best recommendation for the safest container for food or beverages.
