  "whyPlastic": "\"Glass\" and \"stainless\" describe the box and say nothing about the lid. On most glass sets the lid is polypropylene with a silicone gasket and nylon or polypropylene latches. Stainless containers seal with a silicone ring. Metal screw lids on jars carry an inner lacquer and a sealing compound that is commonly PVC plastisol. \"BPA-free\" means the plastic was reformulated, not removed. Read the lid, the gasket and the latch before the jar.",
  "whatToCheck": [
    "The lid: steel, wood or glass, or polypropylene?",
    "The seal: natural rubber, cork or steel on steel, or silicone?",
    "The latches and hinges: metal, or nylon and polypropylene?",
    "Jar lids: bare steel, or a lacquer lining and a plastisol compound?",
    "The print on the body: fired or etched, or a plastic ink?",
    "Packaging: paper and card, or shrink film and plastic dividers?"
