Product Information

Many people find PEVA to be a safer alternative to PVC, which is one of the six types of FDA-approved food-grade recyclable plastic. There are several alternatives to PEVA for food storage, each with its own set of characteristics. Here are some common alternatives: What we do know is that this material is free from phthalates, which “ may increase children’s cancer risk” So do be mindful when using products made from any sort of vinyl around babies. Are PEVA shower curtains safe? The company (re)zip features reusable, zipper-sealed food storage pouches that are made from FDA-grade PEVA material.

Odour – our tests have found bags of both types can have residual food smell after being used and cleaned. But on the whole, we found silicone tends to hold more smell than PEVA. If you have specific concerns or if you are dealing with high temperatures or acidic foods, it’s a good idea to consult with the product manufacturer or choose alternatives like glass or stainless steel for food storage. Benefits of PEVA for Food Storage The tight seal of which is provided by the zippers ensures your food doesn’t get any freezer burns and stays fresh at all times. They claim that each bag can replace other 350+ disposable plastic bags.Every bag has a platform bottom, so they’re easy to fill, wash, and dry. Since these bags stay open when unsealed, they can be placed anywhere in the dishwasher, even in areas that don’t have tines. The downside is the bags washed in the dishwasher came out with many water spots, making the frosted silicone even more difficult to see through. The seal isn’t quite as leakproof as the Stasher (below) but is easier to close and open. There was no leakage with the bag halfway full of water and turned upside down, but when I placed the bag on a counter with a 5-pound weight on top, it slowly leaked out of one corner. It stayed shut when dropped flat from 3 feet but split open when dropped at an angle. Non-Toxic Composition: PEVA is a low-toxicity plastic that doesn’t contain harmful substances like chlorine. This makes it a safer option for storing food compared to some other plastics.

There’s plenty of freezer bags on the market for you to have a dabble with. The problem is, some of them don’t perform as well as others. Moreover, the study also noted that additional testing needs to be conducted to better determine the effects of this material on humans. The higher percentage EVA, the lower the melting point whether measured as DSC melting point or vicat softening point.Polypropylene (PP): PP is another type of plastic that is commonly used for food containers, including reusable storage containers and microwave-safe containers. It is durable and resistant to chemicals. Waterproof and Durable: PEVA is known for its water-resistant properties, making it effective for keeping food items dry and protected. It is also durable, which ensures a longer lifespan for food storage products made from PEVA. It’s difficult to keep these bags airtight, making them less ideal for the freezer and sous vide. After 48 hours, the mango I froze in them had lots of crystals, and the sides of the bags had lots of frost, too. I couldn’t displace all the air in the bag when I sous vide pork chops, but because of the standing bottom, the bag also didn’t tip over or float, so I left the bag standing up in the water bath. The chop turned out dry and flavorless, and the bag retained the smell from the fish sauce marinade even after a run through the dishwasher.
