Walmart flour

[Devany]

Thanks Carey, I use a liner, but I use the flour so fast, I really don't think that any contamination would happen that quickly. I do have restaurant Rubbermaid flour bin that holds 100# but it does not seal well enough for me, so I use it in my studio. I probably should look into some food grade buckets and use the lids I have invested in (They are $13 each, but make it so easy to use.) Costyouless has the containers for dogfood, I have one and they have the twist lids on them. They say they can be used with food... I should read more closely. I think that the large size is $39.

Devany - A quick word of caution - in the U.S., plastic formulated for food product storage must be made from virgin and clean recylced materials (strange to think about, when the base product is crude oil... but the US does have these standards), for non-food grade plastics, recycled products can be utilized, including those that may have handled non-food & hazardous materials... be sure that the materials you are using are food grade (there are suppliers of food grade pails..)

ETA: Found this good link for food grade plastic selection:
