Reuse of Food Grade Tins I am interested in using a food grade tin (such as this) to store small amounts of food, in particular for storing summer sausage or cheese for short periods of time (1-2 days). What are the food safety concerns (if any) for this? My searches online seemed to concentrate on reusing industrial canned food containers (verdict: not recommended), and I'm not sure if this type of container warrants different treatment.
Different types of tins are intended for storing different types of foods (dry crackers are very different from cheeses that contain some moisture).  And as mentioned previously, linings can chip when the tin is being cleaned.  Food grade does not mean that they are reusable - I'd contact the source and ask them.  Usually the I&amp;I (industrial and institutional) market has sturdier packaging than home use.  If the I&amp;I is not to be reused, I'd really doubt yours is suitable, especially for moist products.
