Favor non-plastic materials such as glass, ceramics, and stainless steel for food storage. Individuals are encouraged to transfer food into these types of containers upon purchase to prevent plastic contamination.

Clear plastic items from the kitchen environment. This includes storage containers and kitchen tools. Opt for tools made from natural materials, and consider using cast iron or stainless steel cookware over non-stick alternatives.
