My research had indicated that plastics should be kept away from food, so I wrote to Zip Loc and asked the question: "Can I Sous Vide using a Zip Loc bag?" They wrote me back recommending that I NEVER use their products for Sous Vide. Then I found this product on Amazon: SousVide Supreme Zip Cooking Pouches, Small, SVV-00304

Of course SC Johnson recommended you not use them... If they said "Go for it" and the bag failed, then they are liable for that...
All Zip-Loc bags are BPA, Adipate and phthalate free; and are food safe at microwave temperatures. Feel free to continue purchasing "special" bags at $27 a box; but please stop trying to scare people away from "plastics" while using plastic bags to cook in yourself...
