Hey everyone,
With my extensive research and extreme indecisiveness have I learned my lesson AGAIN when it comes to purchasing everything for a build (130$ in BRS return fees lol). I know it’s embarrassing since I’ve had a BRUTE food grade containers for this (that now has gardening tools in it so not an option) but I need to know if this is a viable SW mixing container or is going to be a problem and needs immediate replacement since I already filled and mixed ~25 gallons!!!! It is categorized as “4” plastic “Roughneck” from RubberMaid.

Looks like it's food safe. Not an emergency by any means though.
 
The key is the #4 recycling. That means it's LDPE. Should be fine. I would rinse it well first.
 
I have been using Brute garbage cans for a long time without issue.
