What is meaning of BTA free?

There is a compound by that name that was identified by national health intersts as a possible carcinogen. It was found in many, many plastic drinking and food containers in America.

The material has been banned from use or sales in any containers sold for people use in the United States. I think that the use of those containers in plastic containers that are used for heating in microwave ovens was the "Bad" issue. I nevcer trusted or used plastic for eating or drinking anyway. Taste issues.
