Plastic containers: Of any kind can put toxins into food, especially when heated. This MAY be just one more source of collecting toxins in the body. Anything we can do to eliminate toxins is good. Please do not re-heat in any type of plastic or use Teflon frying pans. Some people naturally detox better than others. Peace and good health.

Probably not but ...: On the safe side ask for food in a different container if possible. I mean if you are detecting with your own taste buds, it must be pretty significant amount. You should save it and call Consumer Product Safety Commission and Consumers Report Magazine. They will know if there is anything in the works here. Big companies always have a way of stalling things so don't look to them.
