Is It Safe To Use Old Plastic Food Containers?
Huff PostWachirawit Iemlerkchai via Getty Images When it comes to low-cost kitchen items that can stand the test of time, plastic food storage containers count among my personal favorites. There’s often a price difference between brand-name food storage containers, like those from Rubbermaid and Tupperware, and containers made by generic brands. Budget-conscious shoppers in the year 2025 should know that “while historically there may have been some quality and material differences between brand-name food storage containers and generic ones, that gap is becoming increasingly smaller because Tupperware and Rubbermaid have been sold off to capital management groups or merged with larger conglomerates,” Le explained. Tupperware previously announced that as of March 2010, it had stopped using materials containing BPA in its products in the U.S., helping “BPA-free” become a major trend and, eventually, the norm for plastic storage containers.
