I have Tupperware that has only been used to store crackers, cereal, cookies and the "crayon" smell is horrible. I have had to throw out a lot of food items due to the bad taste the "smell" created. Sometimes the containers smell ok after washing but the smell comes back on its own after a few days. I will not buy anymore and am trying to get Tupperware to swithc the ones I have out for me. No such luck so far. I agree. I have Tupperware that has only been used to store crackers, cereal, cookies and the “crayon” smell is horrible.

I'm glad I listed it in the article because it's no longer available on their site. Here were the items listed containing BPA. Products listed on the Tupperware site back in June 2008 confirming they contained BPA: Heat ‘N Serve/Rock ‘N Serve: Container Ice Prisms: Bowls, Pitcher & Tumbler Set Kitchen Duos Microsteamer: Base Microwave Cooker – Oval: Cover Microwave Luncheon Plate Quick Chef Base Sheerly Elegant Line Tumbler Bouquet & Pitcher Set: Pitcher My biggest problem with Tupperware is the fact they don't acknowledge BPA as a dangerous chemical and they will not reimburse customers if they have a product that contains BPA and don't want to continue to use the item. If you are worried about these products, make sure you are not heating or freezing in them - although new data suggests that BPA leaches at room temperatures. I guess your post proves that Tupperware really is a life-long product. If that a good thing - I'm not sure. Suzanne Mommy Footprint Hi Gail – in my original post on Tupperware (written in 2008) this information was still available on their site. I’m glad I listed it in the article because it’s no longer available on their site. Here were the items listed containing BPA.

Products listed on the Tupperware site back in June 2008 confirming they contained BPA:

Heat ‘N Serve/Rock ‘N Serve: Container
Ice Prisms: Bowls, Pitcher & Tumbler Set
Kitchen Duos
Microsteamer: Base
Microwave Cooker – Oval: Cover
Microwave Luncheon Plate
Quick Chef Base
Sheerly Elegant Line
Tumbler Bouquet & Pitcher Set: Pitcher

My biggest problem with Tupperware is the fact they don’t acknowledge BPA as a dangerous chemical and they will not reimburse customers if they have a product that contains BPA and don’t want to continue to use the item. If you are worried about these products, make sure you are not heating or freezing in them – although new data suggests that BPA leaches at room temperatures. I guess your post proves that Tupperware really is a life-long product. If that a good thing – I’m not sure.

The one on their site is only for 2010 products. I have Modular Mates from the late 80's as well as a few cereal containers from mid 70's. all are in perfect condition, indestructible, but am now wondering about their safety. Just wrote to Tupperware to ask same question. Thanks! Gail do you have a source for a listing of plastic composition of older Tupperware? The one on their site is only for 2010 products.

As a Tupperware consultant I would recommend you advise customers complaining of 'plasticy or crayon' smelling products to contact Tupperware directly to replace products with food-safe materials or return their money. Unfortunately, unlike the smell of an onion being left in a container, chemical off-gassing from old plastic cannot be 'aired out'. Suzanne Mommy Footprint Thanks for the comment AStarr.

Someone suggested leaving them in the sun for a day or two - I know that works when I have left onions in one of my containers for too long!

In the past year, I am having the same problem and can't find any info about this issue. My modular mates are less than 8 years old and certain crackers/cereals have a strong odor/taste after being stored in the container. The container smelled fine before I put the food in but smells toxic after having the food stored. Not sure if change in snack recipe or these containers were made defective. Who knows if China added some weird chemical in the plastic to cut costs back then like they did with lead in toys! Alice, thank you for saying your Tupperware makes your food smell and taste bad.
