בשקיות ומיכלי פלסטיק.מצרפת קטע ממאמר שקבלתי Mothers and Others Magazine By Allison Sloan Studies have found that all the plastics commonly used for food packaging can leach, so the safest bet is to store foods in Pyrex-like glass or Corningware-type ceramic when possible, and to avoid heating or microwaving foods in plastic. Also, since most grocery stores use PVC for their cling-wrapped cheeses and meats, you may want to trim off the outer layer of these pre-packaged foods to reduce ingestion of DEHA, which has caused reproductive effects and liver tumors in test animals. Canned foods, which can contain traces of bisphenol-A from the plastic inner lining of the can, may also be a source of concern. However, if by "safer" plastics you mean those that have not YET (to my knowledge) been found to be leaching chemicals that are suspected hormone disruptors, they are the following (if anyone on the listserv has evidence to the contrary, please correct me). Only bottles and containers are identified by recycling codes, but we (Mothers & Others) have received information about plastics used from manufacturers of some unlabeled packaging as well.
