12 Best Food Storage Containers With Lids That Are BPA Free
Keeping food, leftovers, and dry goods in long-term storage is a must. It is especially true if you want to either eat them or use them to make delicious meals later on.
It is for the reasons above that food storage containers are made. The problem is that, according to the Mayo Clinic, most of these are made from Bisphenol A or BPA plastic, which has been in use since the 1960s. Even though the Food and Drug Administration deems the chemical safe at very low levels for some foods, some research has shown that it can seep into stored food, posing potential health risks especially on fetuses, infants and children. BPA is also linked to increased blood pressure as well.
As research into the effects of BPA continues, there are BPA-free alternatives which let you enjoy stored food and goods without the potential health hazards. These all range from dry food storage to even microwavable containers. Without further ado, here are 12 of the best BPA-free food storage containers with lids:
