Harmful Pickles
It is true. In addition, the sale and storage of pickles in Plastic bottles/containers can contaminate the pickles with various chemicals. Some of them are quite harmful.

We can't imagine a world without plastic. But, continuous usage of plastic harms our health and environment. We must take sincere effort to reduce its use and make others aware of its adverse effects. Try to replace all the possible plastic containers in our house with glass / steel. If you use plastic containers for storing food, buy code numbers 2,4 and 5 only. They are food grade plastics. Code #1 plastic is also safe to use. But it is made for single use. Give it for recycling after use. The containers made with #3 and #7 plastics leaches chemical into the food contained in it. So, strictly avoid using them for storing food. Use eco-friendly products only and save our planet. https://www.indiastudychannel.com/resources/168469-How-to-check-whether-the-plastic-container-is-food-grade.aspx#:~:text=If%20you%20use%20plastic%20containers,They%20are%20food%20grade%20plastics. more

I think if pickles could be marketted packed in Aluminium lining poches like cooking oil pouches , they may be less harmful. At home pickles could be stored in glass/ceremic bottles. more
