almost any of the plastic containers are food safe but if you want to be sure just get one of the semi clear ones.

Flip any plastic container over and it'll have a number in a little triangle on the bottom that identifies the type of plastic the container is made of. The best for our purposes HDPE or #2. Those 5-gallon white pails that salt mixes come in are HDPE.

There are many "food grade" plastics that are unsuitable for this hobby including polystyrene (#6), for example.

I think the clear Rubbermaid containers are polypropylene (#5) which is another good choice.
