Frequently Bought Together
HEAVY-DUTY 7-GALLON FOOD-GRADE BUCKET
Engineered for high-volume ingredients and rugged work environments, this 7-gallon bucket features an extra-thick 90-mil wall that resists cracking, warping, and impact damage. Its larger-than-standard capacity is perfect for bulk dry goods, brines, pickling batches, syrup, and other liquid or granular foods that require secure, sanitary storage.
Produced from BPA-free, FDA-compliant HDPE resin, the bucket safeguards flavor and quality while supporting temperatures from the walk-in freezer to hot fill operations up to 160°F / 71 °C. A reinforced bail handle and molded grip rings simplify transport, and the tapered design nests for space-efficient back-of-house or warehouse stacking.
COMMERCIAL-GRADE THICKNESS
At 90 mil (≈2.3 mm) thick, this bucket delivers nearly 30% more wall strength than standard 70 mil pails, extending service life and cutting replacement costs in restaurants, breweries, farms, and emergency preparedness programs.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 7 gallon buckets suitable for harvesting and storing produce?
Yes, these heavy-duty 7 gallon buckets are ideal for harvesting, washing, sorting, and bulk storing fresh produce. Their generous capacity, sturdy construction, and ergonomic carry handle make them perfect for agricultural and food-processing operations.
Are these 7 gallon buckets safe for direct food contact?
Absolutely. These buckets are molded from BPA-free, FDA-compliant, #2 HDPE resin, making them fully food-grade and appropriate for direct contact with ingredients, liquids, and other edible products.
What temperature range can these food-grade buckets withstand?
The HDPE material can safely handle temperatures from approximately ‑5 °F (-20.5 °C) up to 160 °F (71 °C). They perform well in standard refrigerators and freezers but are not recommended for microwave use or hot-fill applications that exceed 160 °F.
Can these BPA-free buckets be used in freezer applications?
Yes. These buckets maintain their structural integrity down to ‑5 °F (-20.5 °C), making them suitable for freezing soups, sauces, and other foods that need long-term cold storage.
Are these food-grade buckets recommended for hot foods or liquids?
They can handle warm contents, but hot fills above 160 °F are not advised. For very hot or boiling products, a high-temperature rated container would be more appropriate.
How many buckets come with each purchase?
This listing is for a single bucket (1 count). Larger carton or pallet quantities can be arranged upon request for commercial users.
How durable is the bucket wall thickness?
Each bucket features a robust 90 mil wall thickness, providing excellent impact resistance and rigidity compared with standard 70 mil utility pails. This added thickness helps prevent cracking during transport and repeated reuse.
Are these 7 gallon buckets environmentally friendly?
They are manufactured from recyclable #2 HDPE, one of the most widely accepted plastics in curbside programs, allowing you to recycle the bucket at the end of its service life.
