I'm sure she'd really be concerned about the leachate from recycled PP effecting her baby.

Scott found the Italian manufacturers web site which made no reference to the use of any recycled materials. He also sent an email request to the manufacturer, but I do not know if he received a reply.


I never did get a reply. I might get a mate to email them in Italian.

I finally got a reply from the manufactures of the 500L green tubs.

I wrote:
To: Ferraricasa
I have purchased your Jumbo 500 lt tanks - Article number 05573.
I intend to use them, to grow fish for human consumption.
Can you confirm that these tanks are suitable for holding water for human consumption. (food safe)?
Are they made from re-cycled or new materials?
They appear to be an excellent product for their cost.
I look forward to you reply

They wrote (3 months later!)
Yr message was rcvd only now.
No sorry. Our water-butts are not suggested for contact with foods or human water.
Just for "raining water"
Rgds
THERMOPLAST - divisione Ferraricasa

Not that it matters now, my system is up and running with five of these "water-butts"
I have no intention of changing them!
(well, not until I want bigger system)

They do not say unsafe... this probably means, untested, we have nfi and want to cover our ass.
It's obviously a gamble you're willing to take. I probably would.
Big difference between 'not intended' and 'unsafe' imho
