Your LHBS should be your best bet.

Locate a business that supplies water in those 10 gallon (?) 20 litre replaceable containers for water coolers. Those containers get scratched and are thrown out. I find them perfect.

Can anybody tell me where I can get 45 gal food grade plastic
barrels to be used as primary fermenter?

They sell them in Pittsburgh during winemaking season.

If there is a Coke or Pepsi bottler near you call them. Otherwise find
out where your wholesale food comes into town and call them.

Ask them for their catalog. They have LOTS of food grade items that you can
use in winemaking. If you are ever not entirely sure, just call and ask to
talk to one of their tech reps. They will ship at reasonable prices. I
got a 30 gallon and a 55 gallon food safe containers from them for
fermenting. You can get them with lids and can easily put in a bung and
airlock if desired. I also got one of their carts to put some of my
carboys on. It comes in handy since it has wheels and their is a storage
shelf underneath.

I use the Rubbermaid Brute Trash Can - 44 gal. It's food grade, available
locally (Lowes or Home Depot), comes with a lid to keep nasty stuff out but
it's not so tight that CO2 can't get out. They also make a dolly that
attaches to the bottom that makes it really easy to move these around, even
when full of must, to get it outside where I do my pressing.
