I am looking for a few recommendations. I am looking for produce bags that are safe and reusable. Also, replacements for ziplocs bags that I can put food in that are also safe.
TIA.

I use glass containers instead of Ziplocks, or an Etsy-made sandwich bag and mesh bags for produce.
Keep in mind grocery stores aren't allowing them right now.

I reuse my produce bags. I use glass containers to store food. I have these beeswax wrap things that I use to cover or wrap food.

I sewed up produce bags out of some mesh a put a drawstring in them.
Old soft tshirts work too.

I use produce bags like These. Amazon has dozens of styles. Keep in mind that if you store produce in the bags, the produce dries out quickly. So I bag some produce items like green onions, peppers, broccoli... in plastic bags to avoid food waste. The bags can be used many times before they develop holes. Then I reuse them for trash items. For food storage, reuse what you have. Butter tubs and sour cream containers are a good size for food storage. If it bugs you to bring a Daisy sour cream container to work, you can use acetone to remove the printed label. Just keep in mind that you are then using a chemical. As for reusable ziplock-type bags, use actual ziplock bags and rewash them, just like our grandmothers did. They can be rehashed many times before developing holes. If you want them more durable, choose the freezer weight bags. I use a lot of Snapware type containers. They are glass and the lids seal completely.
