I would say yes, BUT I would mix up a 10% bleach, 90% clear water to flush it with first. I hope this helps.

I think it be just fine to use these for hot beverages. They seem to be very durable.

Yes they are food grade, made in China, and hollow. You get maybe 15 minutes of cold out of them.

No problem as long as they are 1/4'' the ice is wonderful and the fridge water is amazing. You can taste the difference between spec water an bottled. You will never go back to the latter.

Yes they are. You even have to season them with vinegar water over nite before using them. My husband loves the size of these glasses. It's just right for his scotch and soda. Hope this helps.

It could be used as a cooler. I have not thought of this idea before, but if your food is tightly sealed in small clean packages, it could work. One kicker is the small capacity. The food containers would have to be small enough to fit in the jug. Then there might be a sanitary issue of handling packages in and out of your drinking water. If you are going to use this for drinking water, I think I would just spring for another cooler for food, but that's just me.

These get water hot, but I would NOT use them to boil water. They are really used for heating sealed meals (e.g. MREs) and possibly sealed beverages; not boiling water.

Only thing I can tell you is that they are not microwave/dishwasher safe or bpa free. They kids do put food on them and drink from them. As long as we have had them no problem. Better then most of the ones out there.

Sure they can be used for that, you will need extra room in the frig. No different then any other plastic cup!

Nothing specifies that they are "food grade." However, they arrive with each one sealed shut. I use them mainly to carry pills around and use them to store my earrings jewelry. Find that they work well.

I think they will work fine. They last at least two or three weeks I do not know if they are safe for potable water though

I don't see why not...they're just plastic....water shouldn't affect them...

I would see no reason why they could not be used for food.....good quality waxed paper...they are really nice.

Yes, they can be used with hot or cold beverages and cleaned in the dishwasher. The only thing we have never done is to place them in a microwave.

I used them to make water tanks for a van, tap water only,not for drinking, I dont know. it may have BHP, or do you mean BPA?

From the research I did years ago, I believe the black filters have the ability to make undrinkable water drinkable. These are the ones they use after emergencies when the water is contaminated. I know they are more expensive but I wanted the purist water possible and virtually no taste to it. These did the trick for me and lasted quite a while since I was only purifying tap water. The ceramics are basically the heavy metals and such. I have not tried them. I hope this helps.

I've used them to boil a few items, for convenience. They worked fine, although I'm not sure whether or not they're BPA free, it that's your concern.
