Here's how to swap to non-toxic food storage containers:
Food storage containers sit in direct contact with your food, often for hours or days at a time. The material they're made of matters because some containers can leach substances into food, especially when heated or used with acidic or oily foods.
Take stock of the food storage containers in your kitchen and note what each one is made of. Focus first on containers you use most often or that regularly hold hot food.
If you're not ready to replace all your plastic containers right away, a few simple habit changes can reduce what transfers from plastic into your food.
The best food storage containers are made from materials that won't react with your food. Glass, stainless steel, and tested ceramic are all excellent choices that last a long time and keep food contact clean.
