Lost, sorry it took so long. I did not realize the email contained a question. My containers did not come with any info other than the Amazon billing sheets. The inside is glazed and since I also use sourdough starter, I would have no problem placing the starter in this item but I would use plastic wrap with a rubber band on top. However, since I cannot vouch for the safety issue, try contacting the company. To me, it appears as glazed ceramic. By the way, Walmart sells these, but bigger, for much cheaper.

Not sure exactly what you mean by food grade, but its funny you should ask....just this last weekend i experimented with homemade yogurt. When I was younger, we had a crock similar to this, but with a (not airtight) lid. So I thought i would try it. My method is regular milk with active yogurt culture about a 1/4 c. I covered it loosely with press n seal and I put it in the oven (not on!) and let it sit overnight. I didn't have high expectations because the inside is glazed, but it worked! I don't know it this helps! I also should mention that we live in silicon valley and the temperature was in the upper 70s maybe low 80s Not sure exactly what you mean by food grade, but its funny you should ask....just this last weekend i experimented with homemade yogurt.

while I believe it's food-safe, there is no lid or top, so I'm thinking sourdough starter needs an airtight cover and I wouldn't use this item for that purpose

I am not certain, however it runs on very low heat so I can't see an issue. I keep my sourdough culture in the refigerator and take it out as I need it and then bring it to room temperature. I only use the proffer once the doug is mixed. I contacted the company directly with a question and they responded very quickly. It would probably be best to ask them.

Yes, it is a food-grade product, its approved for that use and I've used it only for food stuff. It is syrupy and pretty sweet, adding it would be similar to adding corn syrup (though corn syrup is sweeter)

It just has JAR 128 - 250ML the lid has a 3. I am not sure what is molded into the jar since the ones I have are all filled. From what I have read 2,4,5 are "healthy" it might be more acceptable. 2,4,5 are more used for household items. Cups, detergent etc. Some are considered recyclable. I wouldn't use this jar for storing food items. So if you are using it for anything indigestible I wouldn't suggest it. The plastic grade isn't actually know.

It is really not that cheap. I keep mine stored inside and it is very easy to clean.

I was wondering the same thing, but after some searching I would say it's NOT food safe. In the description it says that this drum has an "interior epoxy phenolic coating" and it doesn't not mention if this is a food grade barrel. So I would advise NOT to use this product to store water or food. Try ebay for 55 gallon food grade barrels. Here's some sellers that I found who sell them seller: browerville - $89.00 & free shipping user: sunkist1956 - $59.00 & free shipping

I am not sure WHY you are asking me??? I am not the person selling it and I think you should direct your question to the source. However, I don't mind telling you that "food grade" means it's used by the food industry. A*

Unfortunately most of the water barrels like this one (with the hose for watering) are not food grade. You can get food grade water storage containers, but I couldn't find one built with the water hose at the bottom. I use it for watering the garden anyway, because I couldn't find a "pure" one to do so.

No it is not. I put mine in a rubbermaid bin to keep it fresh and it is easier to store than a bag.

I don't recall there being anything marked on it, verifying it as food grade. judging by the composition and thickness of the metal, I'd say it's most likely for grease straining and storage only. Hope this helps. Thanks for asking!

Food grade plastic. Don't think you'll have any issues there. Have dried multiple fruits and veggies and haven't noticed anything that would make me wary of them.

Not If you need to store it for a long period of time. I bake weekly so it doesn't sit in there for very long. Everything bakes up nicely. hope this helps.:)

It is a very thick plastic consistent with food or water storage. I would only store grains, beans or dried foods in it though and it is best served for its intended use of storing water.

Yes it is. I once dropped mine lid first into a sink of water with bread in and the seal held. I make my own bread and a loaf would stay plenty fresh until we were done with it.

Yes, it appears to be pure. In case anyone is interested: I use it to enhance the sour taste in sourdough bread, and it works well for that. One gotcha is that it can clump, so you need to take care to ensure it is well mixed in the dough.

I stored one in my home in the box for about 1 month and it was just fine. It is wrapped in plastic and I would think that if you keep it in a dry environment it would be ok. Hope this helps.

Yes it is. And to store it, I placed them in gallon freezer bags, and put them in the freezer. Otherwise it will get rancid, since they are made from nuts.
