Is this plastic container considered food safe - to use for gardening herbs and vegtables?

Yes, I do aquaponics in mine. I have fish and plants living in it. Should be safe for food and plants.

Tim, I use it as a reservoir for a rock wall waterfall. I think it would be fine for what you want to use it for, very durable.

It has a Plastic Recycling Code 5 Polypropylene (PP). Not sure how safe it is for long term use. Try doing some research on this code to see how safe it is. I found this website that kinda explains various recycling codes. (http://www.h2no.org/plastic_recycling_codes.asp). Hope it helps and good luck.

Yes it is plastic and yes it is BPA free. I have never had any luck growing in it, but I am sure it must be me as others seem to do well. I might try some different sprouting seeds.

Yes it is safe to use in a plastic Tupperware container with pine shavings in it.

I just pour it in, otherwise it wouldn't fit all the food. It's supposed to be food grade plastic, so I think its safe enough.

I only use mylar bags to stored dry goods. Like rices and beans. Don't think it will do any harmed to the dry foods at all. As for dried veggies and herbs I used vacuum sealed mason jars.

I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would not. Even if they said it was okay, I like it for its perfect use as a salad/cold cutup veggies use. Microwaving shortens the life of plastic in general and I recommend using either a Rubbermaid product or the Ziploc reusable but disposable containers for items that need microwaving. An added suggestion for microwave items is that my husband has me put such items in a plastic baggie (very cheap) then he has a large mug that he reheats food in. If you have that option, it's great because especially tomato products and enchilada sauce ruins plastic. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would not.

No, it is made of rubber. I'm sure it would not be a good idea to steam veggies in it.

Container is fine but what inside - is not. You should read its label-if it has SiO2 (silicon dioxide) in it without % number -sometimes it used as "anti-caking agent" - then it is not fine, because in some conditions it would become like colloidal paper glue which You don't want to put in Your guts - it is not a food - could/should be ~1% not more. Just buy normal fresh red beets & make whatever You want by Your hands or blender or powerful juice-maker & it would be without ingredients which could poison You.

Cannot be used for canning, would not be safe!!! If you have the jar attachment it can be used to store dried herbs and dehydrated vegtables.

I no longer have the packing insert describing the item. However, I can tell you the insert and lid are plastic but I'm sure it's BPA free. I bought a second one because my needs sometimes require 2. I am an vegetarian. I never used the insert in either one. I just place vegetables with the little water remaining from cleaning and it works fine for me. The first one's inside dish discolored perhaps from yrs of use. Honestly I don't think it's ceramic but it's safe and made for microwave cooking and safer than using plastic covering. I was looking for a second one that was larger and deeper and thought this was it. It turned out to be the same one and size. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

The simple answer is yes, it is food safe. We sell to many customers looking to finish a butcher blocks or salad bowl. It has paid for and been certified by Germany but they have not spend the $ or gone through the process to be certified by the USDA.

It clearly shows on the back of the box that the item is safe for indoor use as well as in the kitchen. Please make sure not to place on any food prep areas.

It is sealed and pretty watertight, but it is plastic; rodents can chew through it, and then your stuff will be contaminated. For your intended use you need a metal container.

It is plastic. I haven't used citrus oils in it as of yet, however since you only put a few drops of oil in water - I would think it would be fine.

there is a little triangle at the bottom of the container indicating #7. This container is literally made to hold flour. I can't imagine it would not be food safe and safe for reuse.
