Disclaimer

This is called Kitchen Waste Buddy for a reason! Don't use it for storing food which you want to eat later!

In fact, if you feel uncomfortable with food touching any 3D print, even if it is disposed, don't print this model or use a baggy inside the bin to prevent any food touching the bin. If you are concerned about bacteria growth, regularly disinfect the bin.
