From the UNL page, under "Plastic trash bags for food storage":
"The use of plastic trash bags for food storage or cooking is not recommended by USDA '... because they are not food grade plastic and chemicals from them may leach into the food.'"
From Glad themselves:
"We do not recommend using Glad Trash bags for food storage."
To each their own, of course. I'm happy to use zip-top bags for low-temp cooking (they are food-safe after all), but garbage bags will be reserved for use in the garbage can.
