Reusing Beneful Wet Dog Food Containers

These containers are made with food grade plastic which can be sanitized. There are no issues with re-using them for storing or microwaving human food.

After I read your post the other day about reusing the Beneful containers for human food, I was bothered so I decided to share my views.

I have several of these Beneful containers too, and I agree on reusing them, but not for human food.

I am a HUGE animal lover including letting our pups give me kisses on my lips, but I am not confortable about using the dish from their food, heck I keep separate forks for their food and ours.

We don't really know what is in their food and its' effect on the plastic and if it will leach into our food if stored/cooked in it. I have never ever had good luck getting strong scented food item smells out of my plastic dishes (and I do use my dishwasher religiously). I have been known in the past to use a teeny tiny amount of bleach for sanitizing, but I personally don't think that is healthy for you either.

Please, before you do any more microwaving in this dishes do a little research to see if that is safe for your health....I have read a lot of articles about not doing it. Many of these human food-safe dishes say do not re-use, and I wonder if the same is true for the dog food containers?

These are just my personal thoughts & concerns. Be healthy & happy!
