I’m interested in the plastic jars they’re now using for things that had previously been packed in glass. I’ve noticed their use by date tends to be less and for some reason food packed in plastic for long shelf life creeps me out. I’ve also noticed they’ve changed the ingredients of some of the foods that are now packed in plastic that used to be packed in glass. And I’ve noticed stuff doesn’t taste as good.

Is this just me? Has anyone seen info about this switch to plastic for canning?

I avoid food in plastic because of the bph that can leach out. That’s just me though. Some aluminum cans are lined with plastic. That’s also why I can my own tomatoes.

Same w/soda pop, tasted much better in glass.

Still does, when you can find it.

Perhaps it will one of the good industries to start up after 2012?
