Experts Question Food Safety Claims for Plastic Containers; 4Patriots Uses Mylar Pouches for Its Survival Food
Food experts are calling into question food safety claims regarding plastic containers. 4Patriots survival food is packaged in Mylar pouches for shelf lives of up to 25 years.
Nashville, TN , United States – February 21, 2020 /MarketersMedia/ —
Claims that plastic containers keep food safe are being brought into question, according to The Guardian. Experts point to the lack of data regarding those claims and say that plastic and heat are not a good mix for food safety.
Dr. Leo Trasande is director of the Center for the Investigation of Environmental Hazards at New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine. He said that when exposed to heat – such as in a dishwasher or microwave oven – polyethylene and polypropylene can break down, leaching unknown chemicals into food and drink.
An important component of the survival food sold by 4Patriots LLC of Nashville, Tenn., is its packaging. The food is contained in easy-to-store Mylar pouches, which help keep out air, moisture and light. Mylar is the material used by NASA in the production of spacesuits for astronauts.
Those pouches are then tucked inside tough, stackable totes that are discreet and store anywhere, including the basement, pantry, cabinet or even under a bed – or can be taken on the road.
“If a material is strong enough to protect astronauts in space, it’s good enough to help give survival food its long shelf life,” said Allen Baler, Partner at 4Patriots LLC. Baler’s company provides a variety of products that help people become more self-reliant and independent.
“Plastic containers may or may not be safe for very short-term food storage, but Mylar pouches are the way to go if you want your food to be as great-tasting and nutritious in 25 years as it is today. The next emergency could be right around the corner. Stockpiling long-lasting survival food in reliable packaging just makes sense.”

“Our customers tell us that the single best thing about preparing for a disaster is that they now have peace of mind,” Baler said. “No matter what happens, they’ll be ready.”
