PE is the acronym for Poly Ethylene, a common plastic used in many consumer products and food storage containers. The real question is...is it BPA-free? and what type of PE is used (LDPE - Low Density Poly Ethylene or HDPE - High Density Poly Ethylene) and based on this, what small molecules may leach out when you put hot food on the plate or microwave it.
