The problem with packing in glass is the potential for breakage. Manufacturing companies go to great lengths to prevent the risk of broken glass in the jars. The biggest risk comes when jars break in the manufacturing process. Commonly, jars within an potentially affected radius are removed from the manufacturing line when breakage occurs, and the whole area is cleaned and inspected.
Many manufacturers have moved away from glass to plastic. Although glass is generally considered superior to plastic in terms of preserving flavor (cooling is faster, no oxygen transmission, etc), plastic does remove the broken glass risk.
