Are Plastic Buckets Food Safe? (2024)

Should You Use A Plastic Bucket for Food Storage?

Absolutely! When you have a large volume of food such as; a large batch of soup or restaurant supply of grains, plastic buckets with lids are perfect. They are airtight and when used correctly will protect your products.

Sun West Container offers many different products to help with containing food-related products.

Foodservice and storage

A container’s responsibility is to store products in a safe manner. Buckets that are not FDA compliant may affect the food in question because the containers consist of different chemicals. These chemicals will have direct contact with any foods. Uncertainty typically means you will benefit from an FDA compliant bucket, like our 3 GALLON EZ STOR PAIL.

Using a plastic bucket allows for easier storage, especially for longer periods. Safely tuck away the desired food with an appropriate lid from our pail lids section.

Dispensing Bottles

Dispensing bottles, like our ONE GALLON BOTTLE HAND PUMP, also need compliance when dealing with food. Once again, be aware of selecting a dispenser that contains this approval, along with the appropriate closure size. These bottles are helpful in dealing with food-related products because of the wide neck finishes.

Cylinder Bottles

Cylinder bottles, like our 8 OZ PLASTIC MODERN ROUND BOTTLE, are better suited to easily observe products while in a ready-to-go container. Not all cylinder bottles are approved, so be sure to select bottles that will meet the needed criteria. These containers provide strength to protect your products.
