Where these numbers come from

The 4 products ranked here carry 4,628 reviews at Target. We read the newest reviews of each product (up to a thousand per listing), kept the ones that talk about leaks, and counted up to 40 per product, posted between Sep 2020 and Aug 2026.

A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (4 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.

Target also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. We show them on product cards but never count them, because brand-site reviews run more positive than store reviews of the same products.

Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.

We count what shoppers report. Nothing here is safety advice: use heaters, fans and other appliances as the maker's manual says.

Amazon buttons appear only on products that most shoppers here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.

An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts, never the reviews themselves.

Questions buyers ask

Which food storage bags don't leak?

Of the bags here, Ziploc Freezer Bags come out ahead at 20 of 22, then Ziploc Sandwich Bags (18 of 20) and Ziploc Storage Bags (17 of 20). Glad Press'n Seal Wrap has the best record overall (19 of 19), but it's a wrap, not a bag.

Are Ziploc freezer bags better than storage bags for liquids?

Both did well with shoppers, and the freezer bags edge ahead at 20 of 22 against 17 of 20. Freezer bags are made of thicker plastic, and 22% of their reviews praise them in the freezer.

Can Press'n Seal replace a freezer bag?

Not for liquids. It seals bowls and plates well for shoppers, and 6% praise it in the freezer, but it's a wrap. For soup, marinade or anything that can tip over, use a zipper bag.

How do I stop a zipper bag from leaking?

Press out the air, run a finger along the whole zipper, and freeze bags of liquid flat. For marinades, double-bagging helps if the plastic is thin, a complaint in 8% of sandwich bag reviews.
