Are these tins food safe (for storing spices)?

I can't say for certain, but I've been storing spices in them for the past few months and have had no issues with them. I just washed them throughly when they arrived.

These are storage containers - for storing food. Even though the lids are stainless steel and fine for food storage, the lids are plastic. And even though the lids are plastic, the plastic is a higher grade plastic that is more food friendly. I don't think you'd want to store hot food in them. Just my opinion.

THEY ARE NOT AIRTIGHT!!!!Good for crafts or buttons I guess?The plastic seal between the metal cap and the jar is not designed to be airtight seal.

I would store them like you would pasteurized. I soak and dehydrate mine then store in the refrigerator. They would do do fine in an airtight container in the pantry too.

I really do not know. I trust that since I bought them under "food containers" they should be safe for it.

I think they would be OK if they are airtight. Mine have been fine on the shelf as long as they are unopened, so I haven't frozen them. They get sticky if left exposed to the air.

I'm not sure I would do that. They are just tin inside. I love them for just decoration though. I have them on a chicken wire three tier shelf. Hope this helps.

We went camping this weekend and the tins were on my stove hood the whole time. Spices were fresh when opened. Seem to be airtight. I love 'em.

Yes! I love mine. I use them as spice jars. They are cheaply made, and if the box three were not really usable. But "you get what you pay for" right? Great favors!

We have kept these tins for many months and they do not seem to get stale. There are 4 individually wrapped trays inside the tin. We store them at cool room temperature.

Very small. If I wanted to store Saffron in them it would be fine. They are cute, but not so much for spices. I've found that Ball Jars, make and sell in the grocery store, spice jars with pop up tops that work perfectly.

Hi Kathy,I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I use them as storage for spices (sugar, salt, corn starch, etc), so I've never tried putting them into the microwave or dishwasher before.

I would not put unwrapped food in them for storage, it might take on the plastic smell. I do however transport wrapped food in them on camping trips.

I would NOT put liquid of any kind in these containers. They are lightweight cardboard.

Personally, I would say, no. They just don't "look" like they would withstand the heat. I use them for my homemade creams and they are perfect for that. Actually, the sturdiest and best priced container I've found for this purpose.

Absolutely. There is nothing wrong with these jars. We use them in our pantry for spices and have never had an issue.

That would defeat the entire purpose of the product. The point is to store spices that are generally used together under one lid so you don't have to take time opening and closing individual containers.
