FYI that's not food safe plastic most of the time
also as far as we can tell most food safe plastic isn't even safe 🫠
Yeah turns out that was just a marketing gimmick.
Oops! 😅
Serious question.
Following the assumption that it's not food safe plastic, what is the actual risk that we're talking about here? I get that there's many variables (length of time/temp of contact, porousness and moisture content of food, etc) but let's say that the variety of foods were stored in a cooler for 4 hours prior to consumption. To do this 3x a year, what are the risks? Obviously this set up left in the car during the summer for 8hrs before eating would be a REALLY bad idea, but wondering where it starts crossing the line from insignificant risk to "you should really think twice."
I remember years ago Mythbusters tested the "5 second rule" and contamination really had much more to do with what was making contact vs how long.
Considering the amount of plastic beverage bottles, food packaging, styrofoam, etc that you’ve eaten from in the past X years (think of changing regulations like BPA before 2008-09) , this isn’t going to harm you if you do it occasionally.
I am not a doctor.
also even now, you maybe do not have BPA anymore but BPS instead, which seems to have similar properties but it's not as famous
Do you mean the plastic in the food or the food in the plastic ?
Is it something I should be concerned about?
That's up to you, as long as you're aware, do whatever the fuck you want.
No genuinely, I didn't know some types of plastic were not food safe. In what way can they be unsafe?
