When Herb and I had our boarding kennel, the salesman for our food told us about a barrel made by Rubbermaid just to hold food. It is white plastic, and holds about 1-1/2 sacks of kibble. (the 40 pound ones) It was his opinion that the green barrels were not really safe for holding kibble. Don't know why, but that was his view. I do notice the white barrels are odorless, while there can be a plastic scent to the others.
