Most metal food containers are coated with plastics like BPA. You can't trust "BPA free" labels because there are now analog compounds in use. For example this is what a dissolved coke can looks like.[1]

- gruez 5y ago>Most metal food containers are coated with plastics like BPA I doubt it. I put my stainless steel containers in the oven with no ill effects, so there probably isn't some plastic coating on them. Are you confusing disposable metal food containers (eg. aluminum cans) with stainless steel bowls/cups?
- evv555 5y agoSpecifically I had something like this in mind.[1] Granted that article is about reusable aluminum bottles but stainless steel can have its own coatings like teflon. It's not unreasonable to believe your stainless steel bowls are a safe choice but it takes a surprising amount of effort to verify if that's the case given precedents like these. 1. https://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20110712/some-aluminum-water-bottles-leach-bpa#1 https://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20110712/some-aluminum-water...
- maxerickson 5y agoIt's kind of weird to be talking about aluminum packaging in response to a question and comment about stainless steel home storage containers and serving dishes.
- fy20 5y agoI was told never to consume food from cans that are obviously deformed for this reason, as the inner coating could be damaged and the materials that make up the can could leech into the food. Same for water containers, pure stainless steel is much better than aluminium (which is coated) as when it inevitably gets dropped and deformed you won't have any leeching issues.
