I agree with Ann. There isn't much out there "for sure" about storage
containers. The last I heard was that brown glass containers are the best. I
don't have the research on that just what I had heard at a conference and
where would we find those?

I think the best advice is to ask the companies that make the containers is
have they done the research to prove that it is "food safe".  The company
that makes our urine specimen containers informed us that the containers
weren't considered to be food grade. When they said that it prompted us to
look for one that was. Cost was not as big a concern as safety. We found a
container that was food grade safe with their research to back it. Heating
milk in these containers makes me nervous too. We are hearing of concerns
with plastics and we don't know the LONG term effects of plastics in our
food chain. We need more research on plastics especially tests on the
altering of breastmilk immunities and nutrients after freezing and heating
in these containers.
