It was in the news lately about handling dog and cat food by children which has made children sick with loose bowels. (It was also making some pets sick.) They said that it was found to have e-coli. So, if you use the dog and cat food bags, I would suggest that you first wipe it down with clorox to disinfect, then wipe with water to make sure you no longer have clorox which would take the color out of material. Then it would be safe to use and more than likely, the smell would be gone also.

Our guild is having a class on making tote bags from the new
non-recycleable cat/dog/bird/horse food bags at our sept mtg. I plan to remove both ends, turn it wrong side out and scrub it to remove any residue or odor. The gal teaching us
has made some really neat bags using webbing for the handles. It's not as gross as you think.

My cousin down in Mississippi makes and sells jewelery, ect., and the small stuff, she makes envelopes out of paper grocery bags. She cuts the paper to look like an envelope and zig zags all around it to seal it.

I bet it does, if I ever used such a bag, that would be my thought, put it out in the sun for a couple of days to get rid of the smell.
Turning it inside out is a good one and of course I would wrap the quilt or whatever in plastic, perhaps place a couple of fabric softner sheets in the process.
I intend to give it a try.
