Have you ever heard the tale that some placcy bags leach chemicals. I took it as another urban myth. But today I might have changed my mind.
Bombing around the supermarket for some cheap whiskey a few weeks ago I noticed all these lovely button mushrooms going very cheap. I grabbed a load but when I got home she had only done the same, mushrooms that is,(she thinks whiskey does not come out of her housekeeping). Never mind it's time I traded her in anyway. Now where was I? oh yes mushrooms. I chucked the mushers in the freezer in the bag that I put them in for weighing in Sainsburys.
Today we thought we would have a bit of chilli mince and noodles and we bunged a load of frozen mushers in the pot. They tasted awful tainted with what I would call a chemical taste. What do you reckon it is? bags? or is it to do with her watching that Ainsley bloke on the telly, he seem to mess good food up.
i think it's the mushrrooms Ace, I froze some last year in proper freezer bags and they were foul so have given up freezing them.

Hi ace " only me " have you used frozen mushies in cooking before maybe if not you could do a little test put mushies in a freezer bag and repeat your meal not the scientific answer you may have hoped for but just a thought by the way me and the other half of manic have always had brill mushies in our morrisons meal ;D :o ::)
Chemicals leach out of cling film, as there was a hooha about it a while ago.
I expect it's the same for all plastics really.
