Question - bowdrill - 18 June 2013
I have large tubs about a gallon that had mayonnaise in from a restaurant will these be good enough to store rice etc
Thanks bd
RE: Question - Highlander - 18 June 2013
I would say yes,.. the plastic is clearly food grade in order to have held the Mayonnaise,... just make sure its clean and very, very dry before putting in your rice
Whats the lid type?, is it a screw top?
RE: Question - Scythe13 - 18 June 2013
Yes they will be, as long as you clear them out properly and make a nice seal on thwm (add sealant to the closure of the lid)
They are food grade tubs and basically the same stuff protein supplements are made from (if it's the one's I'm thinking of).
Can you post a pic to double check?
RE: Question - BeardyMan - 19 June 2013
Yup. Oxygen absorber in there and a decent seal and you'll be fine.
If they're pretty hefty things then you could use 2 of 'em to make a Berky water filter. Just need the elements and a tap

Yup they are food grade if they had Mayo in so they should be OK to store dry foods in, I would suggest bagged first then put in the tubs.
I dont know if they are biodegradable though ? which means it may not be wise to bury them as caches.
RE: Question - BeardyMan - 19 June 2013
AFAIK food grade plastic isn't biodegradable??
