I know we all want plastics to be safe, but they are not. We need to stop using them as much as we can. Every single piece of plastic ever created is still on the planet. Plastic is not only a pollution nightmare; it is also an endocrine and metabolic disaster. Minimize your dog's exposure by using glass containers for food storage and prep. Phthalates in plastic are soluble in fat. Don't purchase ANY oil in plastic, including fish oil. Powders in plastic have minimal risk, but anything oily, especially essential oils, EFA oils, and foods, should not be stored in plastic as the fat in the oil and food helps leach phthalates and heavy metals into the fat or food. Take your frozen foods out of plastic and plastic wraps BEFORE they thaw. If you need research on this, there is a ton! Go look for it. The EWG is an excellent resource for toxins in our food and environment. The domination of Plastics is one of the "changes" made since the boom of cancer, along with the domination of processed food.
