Table of Contents
1. Types of food storage containers
There are many different types of containers available on the market for storing meals. First of all, they are made of different materials. They can be plastic, silicone, glass or metal containers. Lunchboxes also vary in shape. There are one-room containers on the markets that are perfectly suited for storage of sandwiches, lunches or salads. If you want to bring different types, you should also choose containers with a fence.2. What to consider when choosing a lunch box
When choosing food storage boxes, it's worth paying attention to their tightness. The lid should be tightly attached, for example, by clips that protect the liquid from escaping outside. So if your meal needs to be heated, you should buy containers that allow you to heat the food in a microwave oven. When you can't put the lunch boxes in the refrigerator and your meals contain products that can spoil, you can choose a container with a cooling agent.3. The risks associated with the storage of meals
Plastics such as polycarbonate plastic containers may contain bisphenol A (BPA). This compound is used in the manufacture of plastics. It is a hazard to the human body. It can also enter food. Increased migration of BPA into food occurs when the food container is scratched, damaged or heated to a higher temperature. Therefore, we should avoid heating meals in plastic packaging as well as exposing these containers to sunlight.
