Pyrex Simply Store Glass Food Storage Containers (18-Piece Set)

The container body is tempered glass — no plastic, no coating, nothing to chip or leach into your food. You can store tomato sauce, curry, or acidic leftovers without any flavor transfer or staining. The one limit: don't move glass directly from freezer to hot oven — let it warm up first.

The lids are BPA-free plastic — which is the minimum standard, not a premium feature. Pyrex hasn't confirmed BPS-free or phthalate-free status. If you store containers upright, plastic-to-food contact is minimal. If you stack them or store on their side, the lid is touching your food.

Pyrex's only chemical safety claim for this set is 'BPA-free lids.' No information on BPS, phthalates, or other plastic additives in the lid material. The glass container body doesn't need these claims — it's inherently free of all plasticizers — but the lid transparency is minimal.

Pyrex meets FDA food-contact standards — the regulatory baseline in the US. There's no independent lab that has tested this set for PFAS, heavy metals, or plastic additives. For the glass containers, that's fine — glass is inherently inert. For the plastic lids, you're taking Pyrex's word on the BPA-free claim.

These lids use simple friction to stay on — no clips, no snaps, no gasket. For solid leftovers in the fridge, they work. For anything wet or liquid, or for carrying containers in a bag, they will leak. If you need a leak-proof lid, look at Snapware Total Solution or Rubbermaid Brilliance.

You can store tomato sauce, curry, or strongly flavored foods without any permanent staining or odor transfer. Rinse the container and it comes out clean. Plastic containers stain orange from tomatoes and absorb garlic smells — this set won't.
