Do Pyrex Bowls Have Lead?

Is there lead in vintage Pyrex bowls and baking dishes? Yes. Almost all vintage Pyrex bowls and baking dishes test positive for lead when using an XRF (a precision scientific instrument that will report the exact quantity of lead, cadmium and other heavy metals found in an item).

Is Pyrex safe to use?

Safer Dishware and Food Storage

Both are the safest options. I love to use modern Pyrex for most of my food use. It's affordable, good quality, and very safe. Pyrex did briefly make a line called Vintage Charm that was inspired by the vintage pieces but would fit under new FDA standards.

Is there lead paint in Pyrex?

YES. Most vintage Pyrex with a painted or colored exterior (both solid colors and designs) uses lead-containing paint.
