Definitely confirm that they are food-grade (and yes, anything FDA approved is fine for brewing).
I made the mistake of getting a couple round, 3-gallon jobs through US plastics which I discovered afterwards were NOT food-grade and ruined two batches of beer due to plastic-y off-flavors and weird fermentations.
After researching further, I think I found the smallest food-grade buckets they carry practical for brewing are squarish 4-gallon units

Good tip on the bakery\grocery store!
