Lower-risk category, but lack of material transparency limits certainty.
Our Place's food storage container is a plastic vessel with no disclosed PFAS-related coatings, nonstick treatments, or water-repellent coating finishes, typical for rigid food storage. The brand provides no public statement on PFAS or material composition.

Why this grade
Category baseline
food packaging is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement about PFAS in this product.
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
Our Place has not publicly disclosed the specific polymer resin in this container (e.g., polypropylene, polyethylene, or other). The lid material is also unspecified. Without resin identification, you cannot assess leaching risk or heat tolerance accurately. Food-contact plastics vary widely in chemical stability; PP and HDPE are generally lower-risk, while some formulations may contain BPA, BPS, or phthalates as processing aids or softeners. The opaque pink/cream color suggests pigmentation, which introduces a secondary concern around heavy-metal colorants.
The brand's record and disclosure
Our Place is known for direct-to-consumer cookware and kitchen products but has maintained silence on PFAS use and material sourcing for food-contact items. The brand does not list third-party certifications (BPA-free, FDA compliance statements, or ISO standards) on widely available product pages. No major recalls specific to this container line have been documented in FDA or CPSC records as of public knowledge cutoff. The lack of proactive transparency is a red flag for a premium brand in an era of heightened food-safety awareness.
How it compares in its category
Mainstream food-storage brands (Rubbermaid, OXO, Sistema) typically publish resin type and BPA-free certifications upfront. Our Place sits in a mid-to-premium tier but lags in disclosure compared to peers. Glass-and-stainless alternatives eliminate polymer leaching risk entirely but cost more and lack color options. For plastic, competitors like Pyrex (borosilicate glass lids) and Rubbermaid (transparent resin labeling) offer clearer material traceability.
If you buy it
Use only for cold or ambient-temperature storage; do not microwave or expose to heat above 60 degrees Celsius (140F) unless the resin is confirmed as temperature-rated, which it is not on available product information. Avoid acidic foods (citrus, vinegar) and fatty foods (oils, dressings) for prolonged contact, as these increase leaching risk in unknown polymers. Inspect regularly for scratches, discoloration, or cloudiness, which signal polymer degradation; replace if observed. Hand-wash only; dishwasher heat may accelerate leaching.
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
No BPA-free certification or material disclosure provided by Our Place. Unspecified polymer resin in food-contact plastics may contain these endocrine disruptors as processing aids; risk is higher for colored plastics (the pink/cream finish may use BPA-based pigments or stabilizers).
Heavy metals in colorants
The opaque pink and cream coloring requires pigmentation; some low-cost colorant packages in plastics have historically contained cadmium or lead, particularly in non-food-grade pigment batches. Our Place does not publish pigment sourcing or certification.
Microplastics from degradation
Unknown polymer formulation limits ability to assess UV stability and mechanical durability. Scratches or heat exposure can generate microplastics over time; the absence of material specs makes it impossible to determine if this product is designed to resist such degradation.
Leaching from unknown resin type
Food-storage plastics with undisclosed resin types have been linked in studies to unintended chemical migration, especially under temperature stress or with acidic contents. This container lacks transparency required to rule out such risk.
Lid seal integrity and fit
No field reports of seal failure on this specific model on record; however, the material composition of the lid (and its gasket) is also unspecified, making long-term airtightness claims unverifiable.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 62% 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.
