Thanks, catmandy & Peter.
The main thing I have that kind of container from would probably be yogurt,
sour cream & ricotta. I note that on the bottom a couple of those items
show PP5 and HDPE 2. HDPE 2 is considered safe; I don't have information re
PP5. The main thing about freezer bags is that there is no Letter/Number
indication as to the type of plastics they are. Perhaps the Freezer
containers you mention have no code on them either; I'll give that a look.

By the way, how do you get the chicken stock in bags to lay (lie?) flat,
without freezing them straight up and how did they even out without bulging?

Thanks again.
