Tips and Products for a Healthier Home in 2026

“I swapped all my Tupperware for glass,” says Amy Keating, a registered dietician on CR’s food team. “The first day of the week, I prepare whole healthy ingredients—like chopped veggies, cooked whole grains, and diced protein—that can be combined into quick salads and sides all week. The glass containers filled with colorful fruits and veggies are really attractive, and it makes meal prep and snacking accessible and easy! Swapping to glass also minimizes my risk of any plastic contaminants.”

Mary Beth Quirk, who heads up our shopping coverage, also traded her plastic food storage for glass. She likes this Bayco set, which scores high in our ratings. Amy prefers Pyrex containers.

Along the same lines, Samantha Ostrander, who leads testing on humidifiers, dehumidifiers, space heaters, baby monitors, and air-quality monitors, says she replaced the plastic plates, bowls, and cups her kids were using with stainless steel.

Others prefer stainless steel food storage, and this Ikea set gets a near-perfect score in our tests.
