Plastic free food storage UK: the evidence for each
Each plastic free food storage container on this page is recommended on plastic touching food: a source says no plastic part touches the food, the label is not “No information”, and nothing we found contradicts it. We list 6 sold in the UK. The evidence is a test, a lab report or the material itself for 2, and the brand’s own written claim for 4.

What the labels mean
Each status shows the evidence it rests on: an independent test, a brand lab report, a certificate, the material itself, a brand claim, or no information. A dash means we found nothing from the brand, a test or a certificate. “Recommended” means a source says the product is free from it, the label is not “No information”, and no test or brand source contradicts it. A brand claim is the brand’s own words; we quote them exactly.
