The issue today with most of those sustainable takeout containers is they are lined with PFAS. Not true for everything but the vast majority are.

- everdrive 2y agoThis is true, and because of this we eat out as little as possible. People just won't given up convenience, no matter the cost to health.
- bunderbunder 2y agoTrue. Consumer Reports did some testing on this, writeup here: https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-contaminants/dangerous-pfas-chemicals-are-in-your-food-packaging-a3786252074/ https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-contaminants/dan... It's from a couple years ago now, so individual results might be out of date.
- r00fus 2y agoLooks like this will be changing for the better soon: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-industry-actions-end-sales-pfas-used-us-food-packaging https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-indu... Even plastic-backed paper (ie, not PFAS) is much better than a fully plastic container, so I support his.
