some bags impart a weird flavor. Is there a certain bag to use?

Mine do the same thing! I have two - one at our home and another at our beach house. Same problem at both. I wish I knew what was happening as I recall thinking these were great 20 years ago.

The brisker is amazing - living in the tropics it was almost impossible to keep things crisp - this works wonders - however - yes - if left in toooo long the taste of the bag may happen and I think although never really checked - maybe the type of plastic - i tend to put everything in a zip lock and it seems to work -

Umm, interesting! I left most of my products, cereals, crackers in their original wax type bags. For some cereals that I had placed into zip type bags, I buy what is cheap, on sale and mostly the freezer type, I just left them in those bags! I never had that issue nor did a friend of mine who also has a brisker.

I have had one for 10 years and never had a bad flavor. I just left them in the bag the chips or crackers came in

Why and where do you use bags in a Brisker? I have used one for many years and never used any thing but the wrappers the crackers come in. I clean the bottom several times a year, never had an odor.

Freezing the bag does not allow the bag to conform to the area you are treating. If you drop the bag, or if you try to break the ice to allow it to conform, you can puncture the bag. I ruined a bag by doing this. I suggest filling the bag with ice and a little water and squeezing out the air as described by another reviewer.

Idk. I've been having trouble with mine. The bags aren't holding a seal. They must have holes and I only used them once.

In the past, I have used this product as well. Usually, I mix the end of the previous bag with some of the new in my smaller container for daily feeding. I suppose that helped introduce it gradually. I have never had any problems with either flavor or switching back and forth.

It sounds like you have a problem, either with the particular bag having been exposed to something foul, or your idea of what fine leather should smell like. After living with mine for a couple of months now, I am happy with every aspect: Appearance, smell and product utility. Very well made, luxurious bag.

They taste like regular chips. In The batch I received some of the bags were a bit salty.

Sorry Wendy. I do the same as the other respondent. The bags are huge and I always put them in airtight containers. I have a small bag from a local Amish bulk store and the ingredients on that label are the same as was previously mentioned in the other response.

Probably, I used mine to make vanilla extract pretty soon after i got them, but I have some others in a bag that seem to be keeping fine.

I had the same problem. The bags I have ordered had either orange or lemon but never both.I'm not sure why you can't get all flavors.

I have had no problems with the bag making other things wet. I can put a canned coke, sandwich, chips in a ziplock and a little snack in mine.

My last bag had a different odor - I can't say it was a "plastic type odor" but definitely different than prior bags. The last bag also appeared much rougher - almost as if it had wood product in it.

Hello Lauren....you may need to ask these questions to the company...as there is no information about that on the bag

My best guess is that something in the bag was a little bit damp when you packed it. It doesn't take much water to create mildew when a package is sealed up for a long period of time. I think that if you could really get all of the air out of the bag, you wouldn't have the musty mildew odor. But it isn't really possible to get ALL of the air out of the bag, so there you have it.

I've purchased three ONA bags in recent months and haven't noticed any odors from any of them...maybe you can swap it out.

Yes, I have used Food saver bags, and a different brand I ordered off of Amazon from some company called Lemon Tree I think. But I know for sure I have used at least 3 different brands of bags and have not had a problem with it using any of them! Hope that helps!

Yes - I just had two gross bags from costco - they all tasted fine but when I ripped one open, it was moldy on inside and had lots of little egg-like things (not the fig seeds). Maybe worm eggs? no idea but I am so grossed out and never eating them again, which is a shame cause I loved them! I will return both bags and contact dealer.
