Can food be stored in these?

The packaging specifically says no to food and water. Probably not food grade sealant, whether actually harmful or not, they are probably required to state that. Now, there's not some odor coming off of it to ruin food you have in plastic bags or such, in fact I use mine just for meals, but nothing loose, like a huge quantity of granola or such.

You could certainly keep packaged food in them, but I doubt you'd want to use them like "baggies"... ;)

you could put packaged food in them like survival type freeze dried foods and the like. maybe apples and other firm foods sealed in ziplock/vaccum bags and not going to be put through rough conditions (getting banged around) is possible.

Agree that you would not want to use them as baggies but only put packaged food in them

you can store both items but you will want to store cold items in top container. As for coldness yeah it doesn't stay that cold but I've put yogurt in there andit was still somewhat cold.

I suppose you could, but if they are in plastic, the container might melt. The Best way to store spices would be in a jar that seals well and does not get exposed to light. If you are in a very humid climate, then a short stay less and two hours in an open jar in the brisker might help keep them dry.

My experience has been for short term storage it would be okay, but I don't believe the bags are completely airtight. I have had crackers and other things go stale when stored for long periods of time which tells me some moisture migrates through the plastic.

Hi David! Yes, you can store food in these bags! Since the Big Bags are made of a thicker, heavy duty plastic, than the smaller freezer bags are made of, I don't see why not. Can I use Ziploc brand Big Bags to store food? Yes. Ziploc brand Big Bags can be used to store food, but they should not be used in the microwave or oven. The above entry is listed under the FAQ section of http://www.ziploc.com/Products/Pages/BigBags.aspx?SizeName=XL Hope this helps!

Yes I understand they should be stored refrigerated, except for the one you are using. That is what I do.

According to the manufacture, they are freezer safe. My wife and I use freezer bags or plastic storage containers to store items in the freezer.

I don't store dry food in mine. I use it for office supplies. The seal isn't air proof.

Sure you can. I keep one in my frig now. Tey are great for keeping thing airtight and fresh.

Probably. They are shelf stable, though, so you don't even have to refrigerate them.

I freezer store food in them often. Great for short term, not sure if they are the best for storing food for months at a time though...

Have not tried this but I would think so. They are airtight and light weight.

We don't know the specifics as we do not manufacture these, but there is a plastic container ( not that hard ) which does have some compartments to store the items. We have never opened one to see what's inside as it's against our quality control policy.

Yes, I believe you could put almost any dry food in these containers. The wheel attached to the dispenser knob is made of thick but slightly flexible rubber that stays flush to the sides of the container as it turns, so even finely ground foods won't fall out (except the portion you want to dispense), and the contents remain relatively air-tight. I have stored nut flour in mine.

Sure, I use them myself for storing beans and rice. Use a moisture absorber with food products too. You can use them for ammunition storage as well.

Yes, they are absolutely air tight. There is a rubber (or perhaps silicone?) gasket around each lid, and when closed makes a tight seal. I keep items such as flour, cornmeal and sugar in them safely.
