Traditional food storage containers, particularly those made of hard plastics, often contain harmful chemicals such as BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates. These substances have been linked to serious health conditions, including diabetes, heart problems, and developmental issues in children. Furthermore, softer plastics like Ziploc bags, noted for their convenience, come with their own drawbacks, leaching toxins into food, especially when heated or in contact with acidic products.
