Frightening, I had many of those Tupperware products. My children ate on them almost daily. Makes me wonder if this kind of toxicity can be passed down genetically. I have a grandson with severe, non verbal autism. He never ate from this plates or cups but his mother did.
Also, how about all the opaque Tupperware sold as pantry storage.
Would you be able to check their new heritage Tupperware set? It is being sold in Costco’s right now as a throwback item. Im seeing it all over Facebook. I would love to see if their newer stuff tests the same.
