The article said that if your food doesn't touch the lid it should be fine but otherwise there is a possibility of contamination. The article said that Weck jars do not have metal lids and therefore there is no chance for contamination. I am deciding what kind of canning jars to purchase and not sure how concerned I should be. Is the bisphenol A in canning jar lids a concern to anyone else?... </p>
