So I took someone’s advise and took the huge bags of Costco cat food and put it in ziplock bags to keep them from spoiling.
Now I get one of the bags and all of the cat food spilled out. On the bags were mysterious cuts on the bag as though someone had cut it with razor. I don’t see how that could happen, and the cat didn’t reach it.
So now I have a huge amount of cat food in bags that were supposedly closed, but all have cuts in them that appears mysteriously.
No. Again, cat food has oils, it degrades, the more you store it, the more turns into poison with a lot of mold and will kill your cat.
Roaches, bugs, rice mites, get to that food because it is fragrant. But mold is the worst.
BTW Costco food is really bad quality. What you save in food you will pay in vet bills.
Pet food should be stored in appropriate airless containers. If you use simple Ziploc, it still has a lot of air. Remember in Costco they have sealant machines? But still you have BPA to deal with.
we got in a big order of glass jar pressure seals. they shrink up and seem like they are melting when used with certain things. I think it is due to the essential oils having a chemical reaction with the seals. but it would never be actual cut marks. a pic would solve it. more likely the bags are getting cut on something when you put it in/take out. bag corners, ice crystals etc.
Yes. But bags have stretch marks that can split when certain chemicals evaporate and deteriorate the plastic until it eventually splits due to the stress (like a twist or bend).
Only a pic can rule out that theory
Also depends on the type of plastic.
Ideally glass is the go to but isnt space efficient, breakable, heavy and expensive.
We use glass for dry stuff not needing refrigeration like grains, pasta, herbs slices etc. Plus they are pest proof. Even rats tend not to be able to get through.
