Imported carry-out bags may have been printed with lead and other toxic chemicals. ---RestaurantBags.com only offers non-toxic U.S. manufactured bags--- Because carry-out bags may come in contact with food, it's important to know what, how and where your bags are being produced. You take great care in acquiring the right ingredients to prepare an enjoyable meal - it's also just as critical to ensure the right ingredients make up the packaging. Imported bags may seem less costly, but the risks often outweigh the benefits and can cost more in the end. Imported toys are in the headlines as reports uncovered high levels of lead found in children's toys. Similarly, imported carry-out bags often contain lead and other toxic chemicals. Random tests performed by Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse reveal that not all bags claiming to meet environmental standards actually do. Reports indicate that China continues to engage in practices that are banned in the U.S. (http://trade.gov).
