The expert warned about dangerous products for storage in plastic

Some products are not recommended to be stored in plastic containers, even if there are food labels, because of the risk of bacterial growth and changes in the properties of food. This was reported on January 10 by Gazeta.Ru" Associate professor of ROSBIOTECH University Yulia Filinskaya.

According to her, long-term storage of raw meat and fish is especially undesirable.

"Such products secrete juices rich in proteins, which are an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. Plastic containers that are used more than once are often difficult to completely disinfect," explained Filinskaya.

The expert also warned about the risks of storing acidic, fatty and highly aromatic foods.

"Pay attention to the labeling and in case of planned long—term storage of the products listed above, choose glass or metal containers — they are safer, more durable and easier to disinfect," she said.

What you eat: ready-made food will be defined

The association of the largest retailers believes that the new regulation will have almost no effect on the cost of the product.

Earlier, on December 10, 2025, it was reported that studies indicate bacterial contamination and the presence of microplastics in water from plastic bottles. Experts noted that tap water in many countries is more strictly controlled and may be safer than bottled water, especially when plastic containers are stored for a long time.
