Honey has also been used in rat poison. Does that mean honey is poison?

Can't find the post here about a question someone asked-"Where can they buy Oxygen Absorbers? You can order them from Emergency Essentials– phone number is 1 800 999 1863. Hope the person who asked sees this.

The ones used for food should show HDPE2 on the bottom.

You're right about the artificial sweetners, especially in the diet pop. It has aspartame and that stuff is used in rat poison.

The HDPE2 buckets are suppose to be safe for food. Those are the ones restaurants use with their foods- pickles, cheese, etc.
You mentioned your dog treats and the problem but I wonder if there was something in the dog treats that caused the problem?
I ''ve heard people here talking about Oxygen absorbers but you're suppose to be able to do the same thing with dry ice. You put it on a paper on your food and leave the lid slightly ajar until the smoking part stops and then seal the bucket. Don't know if anyone has tried it yet.

I do use canning jars with my foodsaver attachment for storing some things, but for long term storage of large quantities I use buckets with mylar bags. If it is worth storing for future use then it is certainly worth it to do it properly!

I would also suggest that everyone look at a product called "Gamma Seals" for lids for 5 and/or 6 Gallon Storage Buckets. It's a two (2) piece lid system. The lid is a "Screw-On" lid. that come in different colors so You can "Color Code" your Survival Supplies!

Styrene is a thinner material we used to make lids for fast food cups.. FYI

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. That is, drinking gallons of diet soda is a GREAT way to screw up your health. Get off that stuff and substitute carbonated water. You can add a sqeeze of lemon or lime and maybe a bit of stevia for sweetness…
