PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 1.25 gallon buckets suitable for harvesting and storing produce?

Absolutely. The buckets are molded from BPA-free, FDA-compliant HDPE, making them safe for direct contact with foods such as sauces, dairy, dry ingredients, and more.
What temperature range can these food-grade buckets withstand?
These HDPE buckets tolerate temperatures from ‑5 °F (-20.5 °C) up to 160 °F (71 °C). They perform well in walk-in coolers, standard freezers, and ambient storage but should not be used for hot-fill applications above 160 °F or for microwave heating.

Are these food-grade buckets suitable for hot foods or liquids?
They can handle warm contents up to 160 °F, but they are not recommended for boiling fills, retort processing, or microwave reheating. For best results, allow very hot items to cool slightly before filling.

Each master carton contains 100 buckets, providing an efficient pack size for restaurants, processors, and repack operations.
How clear are these HDPE buckets?
The buckets are offered in White for maximum product protection and in a Translucent (milky) option that provides moderate contact clarity—enough to see fill levels without compromising strength.
Are these food-grade buckets environmentally friendly?
