Rip-stop is considered safe. If it is coated you can usually see it, and the bolt should indicate that as well. It would say "coated" rip-stop nylon. <br />Stanley: I only know PUL manufacturers say it is not food safe. There may be other issues with the materials used in PUL, or the manufacturing method they use to adhere it. I have listed more recently on this blog sources and references that use and approve of the materials listed as "Food safe". <br />diaperfabrics: I know that the mass manufacturers of reusable food bags have had to go through extensive testing to be approved for food use in the US market. As none of them have used PUL, I have to disagree with you that PUL is made from the same food safe materials. The mass manufacturers of food-safe bags are using the same materials I am using. I think that PUL is a wonderful product that performs like no other in it's own area of use. Food safe bags do not fall into that approved area however.4 Girls Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240063305767206709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687764638949632712.post-22079882519172629102010-01-14T09:18:27.790-08:002010-01-14T09:18:27.790-08:00I bought some ripstop at Joanns and it says 100% N...I bought some ripstop at Joanns and it says 100% Nylon. The workers are pretty sure it does not have Poly coating on it since it just says 100% Nylon and both sides look the same (both sides have grid). If it had a Poly coating would it only just say 100% Nylon. Thoughts?

Just so I understand correctly, should I put the back of the fabric facing the food, or the front (with the grid design on it?) They both look shiny to me!
