So how is it one can determine just which are the best types of baby food storage containers to use and which are not? When it comes to purchasing plastic containers in which you want to store meals made for your baby in then you need to be looking at the ID codes on the bases of these containers.  As you will soon discover they come with a triangle on the base into which a number has been stamped and there are certain numbers on these containers that must be steered clear of.  The numbers which need to be avoided when purchasing storage containers for baby food are as follows: 1. #3 – These containers are made from PVC and contain some phthalates in them which over time can leach into your child’s food. 2. #7 – Normally the containers in this category have been made from some kind of acrylic or will include in them fibreglass, polycarbonate, nylon, polylactic acids or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.  It is those that are made using polycarbonates that one needs to be especially aware of as it is these which contain BPA and is able to breakdown and be absorbed by whatever is contained within them.
