My wife and I make a large quantity of soup (approx.30 quarts) at a
time. We previously stored them in 4 qt. polycarbonate containers made
by Cambro in our freezer. They stack very easily in our freezer and
are light weight We have just read several articles about the dangers
of polycarbonate for food storage. Is there a safer way to freeze and
store this amount of liquid.
Thanks, Richard
I would start by checking with Cambro. They are still selling them in
the restaurant supply stores. See what they are made of.
A quick glance at a Google search of polycarbonate dangers seemed to
be about water bottles. What sources do you have?

Thanks for all your input. A friend suggested that I line the plastic
containers with poly bags (made from polyethelene). There seems to be
no concern for this material. Then when the soup cools, pour the soup
into the poly lined containers and then freeze.
