Re: Ques. on how people store their broth & accidentially consuming some plasti

[Guest guest]

I store mine in pint size " can or freeze " glass ball jars with the

replacement plastic lids (since the metal ones they come with contain BPA).

I don't know what kind of plastic they are made of, but Ball does state they

are BPA free.

IMHO, #2 (HDPE) plastic is the ideal, if you're going to use plastic at

all. #4 (LDPE) and #5 (PP) aren't that bad either, but neither is

fermentation grade. All the others contain BPA, PVC or Phthalates, bleh.
