The plastic used to make food containers can't be used by just anyone. They must be made of safe materials that have passed FDA and LFGB certifications, such as PP or PET, which are safe, non-toxic, and suitable for hot meals and hot dishes.

Anyone who has ordered takeout knows that if the food containers are not sealed, the soup will be scattered everywhere, which is not only troublesome but also easy to burn people. Therefore, a qualified plastic togo food container, the lid should be tight, not loose.
Manufacturers usually do tests before shipment, such as pouring water and shaking to see if there is any leakage. If you can't pass this test, don't buy such plastic food containers, as it's too risky.

And there will be no pungent plastic smell when you open the package; real food-grade material has no odor.
