stainless steel because it is not part of the material.<\/div><h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-Ge7fdF90XofAogxgmxwcdUuFn1d\">Is BPA-free labeling necessary for metal bottles?<\/h3><div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-HYrsdLvIeoxM7NxOo4DcU9DUnXf\">It is mainly relevant for plastic components such as lids or straws, not the steel body.<\/div><h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line

stainless steel because it does not rely on plastic for the main structure, but overall safety depends on design and materials.<\/div><h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line
