I'm considering pasteurizing straw in a galvanized tub. Is there any hazards using galvanized metals?

Nope.  Even if some of the zinc oxide came off, it won't hurtcha.  It's added to breakfast cereals as a necessary nutrient!

For pasteurizing, you're fine.  I've always avoided using galvanized for substrate containers though, but perhaps unnecessarily.  One of these days, I'll do a grow in galvanized and send a fruit in for testing.

Yeah, that is definitely something to add.  Mushrooms' metabolites have been consistently shown to dissolve many metals - zinc/zinc oxide and the underlying steel would probably be no exception.
