Food safety bags and chemicals

Hey all, I was working out of a different store today. I usually put all chemicals and cleaning agents in a food safety bag. My main store doesn't have a meat department to I have to go to the pickup counter and through the double doors to get them off a OPD cart (odp coach and TLs are both aware of this).

Anyway, today I worked a different zone. This store does have a meat department. I forgot about that ofc. I don't want to enter their backroom since I haven't been given permission there. So I find someone picking and ask her for some bags for chemicals.

She looks at me like I have 9 heads and says "They are by the meat, but I've never heard of anyone doing that?"... is this not normal/recommended? It's what my main store has always done for curbsides
