Food safety and storage is one of the most important factors of running a commercial kitchen and food grade plastic food containers have been an invaluable tool for professional chefs and kitchens for decades. These plastic buckets can be found across the shelves in many kitchens filled with dry goods, liquids or kitchen essentials.
What are food grade plastic containers?
Food grade plastic is plastic that is manufactured to strict safety regulations to ensure that it won’t leach harmful chemicals, dyes or toxins into any food or ingredients that it comes into contact with. The overall purpose of having food grade plastic is to maintain food purity and prevent health risks from contamination.
Also known as FDA approved, food grade plastics are clear to spot with the food grade plastic symbol which will be embossed somewhere on the product.
At ITP Packaging, we are proud to offer a range of FDA approved food safe plastic buckets for multi-purpose use across commercial kitchens.
