Replacing Those BPA-Laced Lids

One of the first tasks in my quest to organize our life house was to get the BPA out of our kitchen cupboards, something I’ve been meaning to do for quite some time.

Canning lids

Last fall we organized our pantry, put most of our dry goods into giant mason jars, and labeled them with liquid chalk pens:

We’ve loved and maintained this system. Unfortunately, regular canning lids contain BPA — that’s certainly not family and environmentally friendly! We needed to get rid of those lids and replace them with a BPA-free alternative.

Luckily we already owned just that: the plastic, BPA-free Tattler reusable lids, left over from canning applesauce this past fall. Time to get those lids on our bell jars.

Our daughter and I went through and tossed the BPA-laced lids,

replacing them with the Tattler ones:

A quick project that’s important for the health of our family.
