Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when buying non-toxic food storage?
1. Plastic leaching (especially with heat and acidity) 2. BPA/BPS in container lids and plastics 3. PFAS in "compostable" or "grease-proof" packaging
What ingredients should I avoid in food storage?
Soft plastics, heating food in plastic, old/scratched plastic containers
How do I care for non-toxic food storage?
Glass is oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe — the most versatile option. Stainless steel is not microwave safe. Silicone bags can go in the dishwasher. Never microwave plastic, even if labeled microwave-safe.
What greenwashing should I watch for with food storage?
"BPA-free" plastics often use BPS or other bisphenols. "Compostable" takeout containers may contain PFAS for grease resistance. "Food-grade" silicone doesn't guarantee purity — look for platinum-cured.
