Collection: Plastic-Free Food Storage

Heating food in plastic is one of the biggest "Manufacturer Lies" in the kitchen. Even when labeled "microwave-safe," plastic leaches chemicals when it meets heat or oils. The TRUE safe storage involves materials that never degrade or shed.

A Healthy SHIFT  to glass and stainless steel isn't just about health; it’s about Lifetime Savings. These materials don't absorb smells, don't stain, and don't need to be replaced. At The True Shift, we vet for airtight seals and 100% plastic-free lids to ensure your leftovers stay as pure as the day you cooked them.

How We Evaluate Food Storage

Products in this category are reviewed using The True Shift Sustainability Framework:

• Sustainability Score: We analyze durability and recyclability, favoring modular sets that last a lifetime.
• Chemicals & Pollutants Addressed: We target BPA, BPS, and Phthalates found in traditional plastic "Tupperware."
• Long-Term Cost Considerations: Glass and steel are a one-time purchase that outlasts dozens of plastic sets.

FAQs: The Truth Check

• Is glass storage safe for kids? Yes. We recommend tempered glass for durability. For school lunches, stainless steel is a lightweight, unbreakable, and plastic-free alternative.
• Does "BPA-Free" plastic make it safe to microwave? No. Many BPA-free plastics use BPS, which can be just as disruptive to your hormones. We recommend never heating plastic.
• How do I seal glass containers without plastic lids? Many of our vetted options use food-grade silicone seals or stainless steel latches to maintain an airtight environment without plastic contact.
