This is a health hazard! BPA (Bisphenol A) and phtalates can leach into food even at room temperature. Many canned goods are lined with plastic now. Studies have shown that heating or cooling food or drinks contained in plastic produces dioxins that end up inside us. We should not be ingesting these toxic chemicals! Some animal studies report effects in fetuses and newborns exposed to BPA.

"Meal Ready to Eat" - MRE . The military has been using these for a very long time. Put the heater contents in 20oz bottle and there is a very loud boom.
