Hello All,
I need to ask the list a question which has been asked of me twice.  Both
times I tried to find the answer and was told the answer was no by both my
bee supply house and the wholesale plastic seller.
I like many other beekeepers sell gallons in the same container as milk
comes in. They are all my supplier sells.
I have been told by two different individuals that plastic gallon milk
containers contain a chemical put in the plastic to retard milk from
spoiling. One person was a vender which used the same milk containers to
store his company product and his product was tainted.  He traced the source
to the chemical put in the gallon milk containers ( he said).  He quit using
only the gallon milk containers(he said) and the problem stopped. The vender
was at a trade show I was speaking at. The other was a former worker at
Sealright . I spent quite a bit of time trying to find out if he was correct
but always the answer was a no. Is the answer no?
Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
