As one of my first ever self designed Prints and 3D Models, I wanna do a big organiser for my Kitchen! This is my current progress on that:

One of my friends gave me a word of caution to use the right filament when it comes to storing things like Sugar, Pepper, Salts and Tea Bags with Printed Plastics. So I wanted to ask if any of you have Good Safe Filament Recommendation for this type of thing? I heard PETG is supposedly safe, is that true? Thanks!

I see! Thanks! Will definetly look into that solution! I do wonder which of these foods would need it tho. The sugar I use is cubed so I reccon that be fine? The Tea is in bags so they are probably fine, how about Salt? I don't think salt goes bad yea?
