Blenders with stainless food-contact jars

Default jars are almost always Tritan or other plastic. Stainless containers help; lids and tampers often remain plastic.

How to read verdicts: passes metal/glass primary path (silicone seals OK if disclosed). partial usable if you skip a coated accessory, or plastic remains on lids. fails plastic or fluoropolymer/nonstick in the normal use path.

Vitamix 48 oz Stainless Steel Container

PARTIAL

Vitamix · Model 48-oz Stainless Steel Container

Why: Pitcher food-contact surface is stainless steel with stainless blades — big upgrade vs Tritan jars. Lid is clear BPA-free Eastman Tritan and the tamper is plastic, so the system is not fully plastic-free.
