Rubbermaid Brilliance Glass Food Storage Containers (4-Piece Set)

Important Note on Food Storage

When I’m choosing food storage containers, I pay close attention to what materials come into contact with my food. I try to avoid plastics that can contain or leach chemicals like BPA, BPS, phthalates, and other additives, especially for leftovers, acidic foods, or reheating. I also avoid nonstick coatings, PFAS, aluminum as a food-contact surface, heavy metals like lead and cadmium, and materials that rely on chemical finishes or nanoparticles. I specifically look for glass and stainless steel components where food touches the container.

Product Description

This Rubbermaid Brilliance set includes glass food storage containers designed for everyday leftovers and meal prep. The containers themselves are made from clear glass, while the lids are designed to snap on securely to help prevent leaks during storage and transport.

What I Like

I like that food is stored directly against glass rather than plastic. Glass is non-porous, doesn’t absorb odors, and doesn’t carry the same chemical concerns as plastic food storage. These containers are sturdy, easy to clean, and practical for daily use when you want to reduce plastic contact without giving up convenience.

Things to Keep in Mind

The lids include plastic and silicone components for sealing. While the food sits against glass, the lids are still part of the system. For me, this falls into a realistic middle ground for low-tox living — reducing plastic where it matters most, without expecting perfection.
