Question from petercsantoro@yahoo.com
Is it okay to store food/ liquids in plastic in the the freezer? I order grass fed meat which is frozen and packaged in plastic. Is there leaching from the plastic? I really don’t think there is anything I can do in this case…some things I just have to accept. What about freezing milk in the #2 HDPE plastic? I have had to freeze some raw milk in the plastic container…is this okay? Is it okay to give to my children, or should I worry about leaching? Thank you!
Debra’s Answer
Leaching of plastic increases with heat and decreases with cold, so frozen plastic would leach less than room temperature plastic.
In my opinion, too, the benefits of eating grassfed beef and drinking raw milk far outweigh any leaching of plastic that might occur.
