Growing up in the hospitality industry, I get as much comfort and nostalgia from plastic food containers as you might from an Emma Bridgewater mug or the throw over your parents' sofa. So, you can begin to imagine the unease I felt when I heard Dr Yvonne Burkart, phD Toxicologist and former Senior Toxicologist in the flavour and fragrance industry, on the Diary of a CEO podcast, telling me to get rid of these in my kitchen.
It took me a long time to muster up the will to move on from the plastic food storage containers that I have grown up with, but in a bid to reduce the microplastics in my food and make storage more practical, I invested in a set of glass food storage containers and they have quickly become kitchen essentials.
