Are plastic containers safe? Most plastic cups,plates & containers are but some of them are not. Look on the bottom of your plastic to find the recycling symbol, inside the recycling symbol is a number & then you will know if it's safe or not.
Below is the code to help you find out whats in your kitchen. I went into my kitchen and decided to check and guess what I found a 7 on the bottom of a cup that my boys use all the time. I put that cup in the garbage right away. Better to be safe than sorry!
Know The Codes:
1,2,4 & 5 are the safest
3 & 6, as these leak chemicals that may be harmful to you and your family members
7 has polycarbonates in it and I would put that in the trash right away
