non-food grade spray bottles ok to use?

    So I'm about to start my first batch, however I'm not sure whether it's alright to use either of my plastic spray bottles.

    One of them is marked #5 PP and #22PAP (paper), not sure if it's considered food grade, but I'll just assume it isn't. I wanted to use this one for cold water to spray on hot wort to prevent boil-overs.

    The other one isn't marked at all and has this 'plastic' smell, I wanted to fill it with diluted StarSan for quick sanitation.

    Do you guys think these spray bottles are safe to use? Anyone here using spray bottles that aren't marked as food grade?

    I know I wouldn't worry about it. I've never checked any of mine, and don't plan to.

    Alright, thanks, I guess I'm just overly worried about my first batch.

    As long as they are new and have not been used with any type of cleaning solutions or chemicals, you're fine. The ones I use are the empty ones that Home Depot sells. I have one for fresh water that I cleaned with PBW prior to use and another one filed with sanitizer.
