Yes, PETE (polyethylene terephthalate) is generally considered safe for food and beverage storage. It is widely used for containers, bottles, and packaging because it is lightweight, durable, and recyclable. However, it's important to avoid reusing single-use PETE containers, as they can degrade over time and may leach chemicals if exposed to high temperatures. Always check for recycling codes and guidelines to ensure proper use and safety.
