Drip EZ Secondz Food Storage Prep Tub
Lower-concern food storage; no PFAS indicators found, but brand offers no transparency.
Drip EZ Secondz appears to be a polypropylene food storage tub, a common, post-consumer plastic with no known inherent PFAS risk. The brand makes no claims about PFAS or coatings, and the product design (flat-sided prep container) suggests no nonstick or water-resistant treatment.

Safe base material
Made from a material with no inherent PFAS use (ceramic, mineral, or natural fiber).
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This container is polypropylene (PP, plastic #5), a relatively stable and food-safe plastic approved by the FDA for food contact. Polypropylene does not contain BPA or phthalates by design and has a higher heat tolerance (up to 130°C/266°F) compared to lower-numbered plastics like PET or PVC. The "Drip EZ" design suggests a lid or pouring mechanism; any silicone or rubber gaskets should be checked for degradation over time, as seals can leach if cracked or overheated.
The brand's record and disclosure
Airtight does not publish detailed material safety data, third-party certifications (e.g., NSF, BPA-free statements), or supply-chain transparency on their website based on available public records. No recalls or safety violations for this specific product model are documented. The brand's silence on PFAS and manufacturing standards makes independent verification difficult; they appear to compete on price and functionality rather than safety transparency.
How it compares in its category
Polypropylene food storage containers are standard and widely considered safer than PVC or older polycarbonate (BPA-risk) options. Premium brands like Rubbermaid or OXO typically offer NSF certification and published BPA-free/PFAS-free statements, providing more assurance. Airtight's product sits in the mid-market/budget tier; it matches competitors on material safety but lacks the third-party backing that higher-end or certified alternatives provide.
If you buy it
Store only cold or room-temperature foods; do not microwave or expose to boiling water, as heat can cause warping and possible minor leaching of plasticizers from seals. Inspect the lid gasket regularly for cracks, discoloration, or odors; replace the container if visible damage occurs. Hand-wash rather than dishwasher-wash to extend seal life. Do not store fatty or acidic foods (oils, vinegar, citrus) for extended periods, as these can accelerate polymer degradation.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
BPA/BPS and phthalates
Polypropylene does not inherently contain BPA or phthalates; no manufacturing defects or contamination reports exist for Airtight's product line in public records.
Microplastics shedding under heat or mechanical stress
Polypropylene containers can degrade and shed microscopic particles if repeatedly exposed to high heat, aggressive scrubbing, or prolonged contact with fatty/acidic foods. Risk is low with room-temperature storage and gentle care.
Gasket/seal leachables (rubber or silicone)
The lid gasket material is not specified by the brand; uncertified rubber or silicone components can leach plasticizers or off-gas odors if cracked or heated. Replace the lid if it shows visible wear or persistent odor.
Mold or bacterial growth in sealed containers
If the container is sealed with residual moisture or stored in warm conditions, mold can develop inside. This is a storage practice issue, not a manufacturing defect, but the "airtight" design can trap moisture.
Aluminum or heavy-metal residues in raw plastic resin
No recalls or testing data suggest Airtight uses contaminated resin batches. Polypropylene is naturally free of lead and cadmium unless deliberately added, which is not industry practice for food-grade plastics.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
