I was disappointed to find out that the LIDS of Earth's Best jarred foods are coated with an epoxy lining that contains BPA :(
I thought I was avoiding the whole BPA issue because these are in glass rather than plastic containers. If it's in the lids, it's going to get in the food as the food moves around in the jar during packaging, shipping, storage, etc. I was planning on being a devoted Earth's Best jarred food user because it was organic and in glass, but then I found out about the BPA. As a note, if BPA doesn't bother you, most of Earth's Best food is tasty.

The Vegetable Variety Pack provides an opportunity to find out what your baby likes.

We have twin 7-month olds and their favorite is the sweet potato followed by the carrot jars. They love those. They like the winter squash. We could not get either of them to eat the peas with brown rice despite numerous attempts.

They like the brown rice cereal we give them though, which we get from the same brand, Earth's Best. They really dislike the peas and will not eat that one.

You can get this variety pack at the subscription price, which when considering free shipping is fair enough.

You can also get any of these flavor types individually in packs of 12 for the same price and with the same subscription arrangement. You can even get lentils with brown rice under the same terms, so scroll and see all the types of jars they have. Therefore, once you know what your baby likes and will eat, you'll know which subscriptions, if any, to sign up for.

For us it makes sense to go with subscriptions since we're buying for 2 babies.

This same package costs 8.99 at baby's R us. Save your money. Asside from that the product works great and is very nice not to have the BPA and toxic chemicals in your little ones food.

I bought this line of baby food because it was organic and came in glass jars. I prefer to make my own baby food, but some times you need other options, especially when traveling. It is incredibly disappointing to find out that there is BPA in the lids. I just talked to the company and they confirmed this. My understanding of the canning process is that it requires heating the product to a high temperature in order to create an airtight seal. So not only is the food being exposed to the BPA during this heating process, but then during the entire storage process until an unknowing consumer like me buys it. I feel incredibly dumb for trusting Earth's best to be good for my baby. Get with the program and create BPA free lids! I recommend everyone taking the time to call the company and urge them to change their packaging. Until then I will stop buying this food line.

Here is a website that will give you some ideas for other organic baby foods that have BPA free packaging

Have you ever tried your baby's food? I have. I have sampled all the brands of baby food and Earth's Best actually TASTES like what it is supposed to. That says everything to me. If I wouldn't eat it- would I feed it to my child?

This is a pretty good deal for baby food jars!

Earth best doesn't put much solid contents into their baby food. too thin for a sitter!

Glass jar lids contain minute amounts of BPA. This is not for my baby. If something is organic it should have safe packaging as well. Call them, they have to tell the truth.

I like their variety package, but also heard that there is BPA in the lid. I will switch to other BPA free products.

We buy this in bulk for my Little boy and he loves it he eats it all up so quick. This is much better for your children than the cheap stuff at the store, and much more cheaper online!

My son gives the carrots 5 stars but isn't a fan of the peas however that's all on the learning tummy of a baby and nothing to do with the product. I've got no complaints.
