Thought provoking post Black Blade. I have found quality affordable food grade storage containers at my local Chinese buffet. Ok, hold on and I will explain. Kikoman ships soy sauce in heavy, quality poly buckets, (six gallon) with a screw on lid with a gasket. These are food grade poly containers that are cheap. I get them for one dollar each, I get 5-10 at a time. The manager is glad to get rid of them and make a buck. I now have over 20 of them stored with corn, rice, oats, beans, etc. The buckets are not stained, no odor etc. I think the soy sauce in in a heavy sealed plastic bag in the bucket. This may not suite everyone but I have found nothing else with this quality and low price.
