I’m concerned about the dangers of using plastic to cook in the microwave. Why is Fasta Pasta® safe?
A. The material used to manufacture Fasta Pasta® is really a polypropylene copolymer and surpasses FDA approval for contact with food in the microwave. It also surpasses the more stringent European specification for food contact while cooking. This is a special resin that will not leak gaseous toxins at high temperatures and classified by the FDA as approved for food contact while cooking. This material is more expensive than food storage plastics. Most plastic storage containers ARE NOT for microwave cooking. They are made of FDA approved plastic for FOOD CONTACT and intended to be used for storing food, not cooking .
