Why this swap matters
Conventional alternative risk:7/10 — High Risk

Storing acidic foods (tomatoes, citrus, fermented foods) in plastic containers dramatically increases chemical leaching. The longer food sits in plastic, the more it absorbs. Switching to glass for food storage is one of the highest-impact changes a family can make.
