Don’t rely on BPA-free plastics. THE PROBLEM: BPA-free plastic food storage containers can still leach microplastics into the food and also contain other concerning chemicals used to harden plastic. Swap out the plastic containers for glass options. They’re heavier and more delicate but way worth it.
THE SWAP: Make the switch to glass containers. We love the Glasslock Container Set from Amazon.

Take a look at your kitchen utensils. THE PROBLEM: Cooking with plastic kitchen utensils can sneak microplastics & chemicals into your food — especially when used on hot surfaces.
THE SWAP: Go the metal or ceramic route to be safe, but make sure the handles are rubber to prevent burns from overheating.
