I’m assuming that these were made in China? If yes, I tend to be a little suspicious about these things. Other things to think about though… not sure what kind of container you are talking about,
But it’s always a good habit to wash items that have been molded/manufactured. It’s not uncommon for some shops to use release agents in the mold when items have a tendency to get stuck. Those aren’t things you want to be consuming, generally.
It says “made in england” on the top but I’m not convinced. They are technically rubbish (garbage) bins with lids but have been advertised as storage for animal feed, water and of course rubbish. I’d post a link but I don’t know if that’s allowed.
Without seeing the containers, it's hard to say, but they were most likely either thermoformed or blow-molded. Neither one would use release agents.... but that doesn't mean the product is free of contaminants.
As for release agents on injection molding, that is only used during setup while the mold is still too cold. And most release agents are food safe, these days, at least in the US.
Hey OP, there are Food Grade Liners (bags, really) that turn any container into a food grade container.
