Okay, this may sounds really odd but I bought a 50 pound block of high-ratio shortening. I need to store it in something once I open it. I found some 5 gallon plastic buckets with lids at the store. Would these be safe for storage of something that will be eaten?
Thanks so much for any insight.

I don't know about that. But before I put any food in anything I f\inse it our with boiling water. In your case, I would put what you have in a large ziplock and then the bucket. How does that sound? A good thing to have among your equipment is a food saver. You can get the bags on ebay at a good price. If you don't want to freeze it will suck most of the air out and then it will seal it tight.
