The Importance of Choosing Food Grade Buckets

The Importance of Choosing Food Grade Buckets
25 Oct 2023

Using single-use food containers isn’t recommended for long-term food storage applications, as they’re not made to withstand being frozen and heated up on a regular basis. The chemicals these containers are made from can also potentially leech into the food, making it imperative that businesses only use food grade buckets.

A food gradable pail bucket can be used to easily store food products inside storerooms, refrigerators, freezers and cool rooms at workplaces operating in the food and hospitality sectors. These specially made plastic buckets are made from food-safe high-density polyethylene plastic materials that won’t corrode and can tolerate temperatures up to 90° C. This ensures that the food products being stored won’t become contaminated or unsafe for customers to consume.

Features of Food Grade Buckets

Food grade buckets come with safety features that make them easier to use and handle. Food grade buckets with lids are highly recommended, helping to prevent contamination while preventing contents from leaking out of the container. Many food grade plastic buckets also have a built-in handle that makes them easy to move around, which is especially handy if the food contents are heavy. They’re additionally available in multiple colour options, which is convenient for businesses that use colour coding systems to make sorting food products easier.

Checking Food Grade Plastic Buckets

Businesses that wish to use plastic buckets for storage of food products need to be diligent about checking that every pail bucket they purchase is indeed food grade. This is because there are many plastic buckets on the market that food shouldn’t have long-term contact with, as the plastic materials they’re manufactured aren’t safe for storing food products. By ensuring that only food grade buckets with lids are being used, businesses can significantly maintain the quality of their food products for longer and ensure they’re safe for customers to consume.
