Dawn makes many different types of soap now. Most have a lot of toxic cleaning chemicals in them. If you can find Dawn Pure Essentials, it would be the safest of their lineup for cleaning food containers. It has no dyes or phosphate (it's a pale yellow color liquid).
In my opinion, it's unfortunate that our government does not require manufacturers of cleaning products put the full list of ingredients on labels. I hope that changes soon. I use either Dr. Bonners real Castile soap or Mrs. Meyers natural soaps every day for cleaning dishes, cooking utensils, etc. Old fashion real soap is a natural cleaner, disinfectant, sanitizer. No need for all the toxic forever chemicals added to today's cleaning products.
