Are reusable plastic containers safe for storing hot drinks/food?

Updated by SFA
When manufacturers design a plastic packaging, they will take into consideration the type of food and its contact time with the packaging, and the amount of heat to which the plastic will be subjected to. Consumers are advised to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the proper use of plastic food containers/bottle and regarding the suitability of the containers/bottles for storage of hot food/drinks. If in doubt, do not use plastic food containers/bottles to store hot food/drinks.
