Maggie, I read it that it's the mixed with plastic items that could be a problem so your lids should be OK ?

Quote from the article .............
' The advice does not apply to items made solely from bamboo or plant-based materials, only those products which use a combination of plastic and plant-based materials. Businesses are being asked to take care to check that any bamboo or similar-plant products remaining on the market do not contain any plastic components.

Maybe it is ok if contents don't come into contact with the lids.

Interesting - I’d not heard of the problem with bamboo.
