Bought three Peace dollars in .9 silver dated 1922, 1924, and 1925 the other day...and put them away. It is similar to what I do when I purchase .22 long rifles and just put them away.

don't get it wrong - not picking on you ....

but food always need a food grade container - there is no liner to make that stored food safe when you use a contaminated container ... contamination is at a more finite level than just physical contact between food and a surface .... and the contamination is embedded into the container beyond the point of simply washing/soaking it out ... overall good example of this contamination problem is the pickle brine smell in a deli bucket - almost impossible to get that embedded solution out of the plastic pores - that brine smell will transfer into your food even thru a mylar bag and taint your stored food ....

in your particular case you compounded the contamination using that contractor bag - garbage bags are manufactured with unqualified poly & chems and are usually sprayed with a solution to odorize them and repel insects/pests ... I wouldn't even water my garden with H2O that came out of a fresh garbage bag ....
