This is unbelievable!

Someone from Kraft needs to give us some answers.

I just bought some Breakstone cottage cheese and sour cream. I am going to check my fridge right now. If it's in #6 plastic it's going to be thrown out. And I won't buy Breakstone again.

This was in an email from my son's pediatrian:
Avoid: Plastics labeled #3, #6, #7
Safer Plastics (notice I didn't say safe-): #1, #2, #4, #5
Never microwave plastic, limit putting it in the dishwasher
Don't use plastic cling wrap, or if you do, don't let it touch your food.

#6 Plastic Safey Concern

Posted: Aug 4, 2008 9:12 AM
With all of the concerns in the news with plastics I am wondering why the Breakstone cottage cheese snack cups are in a number 6 plastic. The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy – Food Health Program suggests that you should avoid number 3, 6 and 7 plastics for food use. Please tell me if what I am eating is safe when it’s stored in a container that is primarily made of a plastic that is toxic to the brain and nervous system.
