Not printed on the bags themselves, no. I haven't looked at the box to see if its on there. But if you need that disclaimer on the baggie itself I would suggest a sticker of some sort since they are not typed in the baggie itself.

The first box I ordered had the warning in a single row of white letters from edge to edge half way down the bag but the second box which I ordered a couple months later did not. The bags were completely blank.

Don't know about the approvals but they are good bags and work well for sous vide and boiling as long as you boil carefully. Just simmering. If they hit the bottom of a thin pan boiling hard they can melt as would anything plastic like this. We use them for a lot of stuff but pay no attention to those that say you can wash them, they're crazy. Especially if used for sous vide or heating something in them.

They're just giant, clear Ziploc bags. I wouldn't see any reason why they would pose a problem.

I have had no problems with any of my jewelry placed in these bags. The only thing you have to work about is turquoise or similar semi precious gems for they need air.

I would think that fruit flies could enter the bag. Even if the weave is tight enough to restrict them, the draw string top doesn't really provide a good enough barrier. These are some of the highest quality bags that I could find - use them for green coffee beans but couldn't be sure about produce and different types of produce would make a difference also.

No where on the package or on the inserted instructions does it say "acid free", so I am inclined to say these are not archival safe. I myself use them in multimedia art projects. They print up beautifully. I seal my images with Aileen's Matte spray sealer after printing.

Yes, reads as Follows: Warning! To avoid dangers of suffocation keep away from babies and children. Do not use in cribs, beds, prams or play pens. This bag is not a toy. This warning appears in six different languages.

I don't know much about tie-dying, but I think they would be ok for it. Logo is small and towards the bottom of the bags. If you tie-dyed the bags, I doubt the logo would show up much unless you were really looking for it. Hope this helps. I'm not very crafty!

We put one per bag as in the directions, they say that even if the bag does suck down the oxygen is supposed to be out. I don't know.Jim

I have used them numerous times for Sous Vide with out issue. Though sealing the bags can be a bit tricky with the Vac Master due to the shape of food. So I double seal sometimes especially for long sous vide times. I thought they were FDA BPA free but would recommend contacting VacMaster directly. Not worth washing.

We stenciled the bags with liquid pencil. All of our bags have been passed out so I cannot say yes or no. If you only wish to used for a short period of time, I would say yes. A dry iron lightly heated may help but could leave tape residue on the bags.

I have never sewn on the label, i have only iron them on, however, the needle can go through the label so i'm guessing you should be able to sew them on. What i have done is to use a piece of fabric (eg a white cotton pillow case) over the the label to reduce scorching and that has certainly work.

My opinion is that they should be placed in a paper bag instead. It is less likely that they will develop mold. Even then, they may have some mold on them when you return. Get them in the ground as soon as possible and you will be fine.Mr. E.

The bag I received was a canvas material with embroidered face and the map was a stuffed toy. The backpacks people were referring too that contain harmful chemicals were bags with rubbery plastic eyes and mouths. If your backpacks face is embroidered I don't see any issues. I don't however know why your bag was seen using felt.

Sealing these is easy with a standard clothes iron on the wool setting. You can check out our FAQ at www.adviceandbeans.com/food-storage-faq/, it answers many of the most common questions about Mylar Bags and Oxygen Absorbers, and has some video links as well. Good luck!

If these are made of the same material as those " silk" teabags, I heard they are not safe to use. , I will follow up if I can find a link. Won't kill you immediately of course but who needs food stuff soaked in more plastic?[ This answers feature should allow us to subscribe to questions.]

When I opened my bag I immediately transferred them to a ziplock baggy. I don't think opening the bag to get one out will ruin them, but I wouldn't leave them out for long periods of time. Not the same as a oxygen absorber, these absorb moisture. I use them in my underwater housing for my camera for extra protection.
