>I guess I'm reluctant to eat acidic stuff out of plastic. It might help to realize that plastics are extremely resistant to acids. Hazardous Industrial acid products, far stronger than anything a consumer can purchase, are stored in Polypropylene barrels. Generally speaking plastics are considerably more resistant to inorganic chemicals than even specially formulated metal alloys.[1](link even lists the resistant data for tomato juice :)) Additionally, metal used for canning is usually(always?) lined with plastic[2] to keep metals from leaching. Ironically canned foods with bpa liners are one of the biggest vectors of BPA intake we know of.[3] [1]https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/files/charts/LG%20CC.pdf https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/files/charts/LG%20CC.pdf [2]https://www.ewg.org/research/bpa-canned-food https://www.ewg.org/research/bpa-canned-food [3]https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0013935116302407?via%3Dihub https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00139...
