When it comes to safe and dependable storage solutions, especially for food, Food Grade Buckets stand out as an indispensable option. Made with meticulous processes and high-quality materials, these buckets offer peace of mind and practicality for a wide array of needs. Let’s delve into what makes our food grade buckets the superior choice for your storage requirements.
Uncompromising Quality and Food Safety
Our food grade buckets are manufactured with FDA-approved, low-melt, high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This specific type of plastic ensures that our buckets meet the stringent standards required for food safe storage. The high-density polyethylene construction also contributes to exceptional impact strength, making these buckets robust and long-lasting. Reinforced Saturn rings are incorporated into the design to prevent distortion, while consistently thick sidewalls provide optimum stacking strength. The tapered design further enhances usability by allowing for easy separation when buckets are stacked. Proudly made in the USA, our buckets are also BPA-free, reinforcing our commitment to safety and quality.

Airtight Solutions for Extended Storage
For effective long-term food storage, an airtight seal is crucial, particularly if you’re choosing not to use Mylar bags. Our food grade buckets are designed to accommodate various lid options to meet your specific storage needs. For a truly airtight seal, consider our 3.5 Gallon and 5 Gallon buckets paired with gamma lids. Gamma lids are engineered to create a robust airtight seal, providing optimal protection for your stored goods.
If you opt for a standard snap-on lid for your food grade bucket, we recommend using an airtight bag inside, such as a Mylar bag, for food storage. Snap-on lids are particularly convenient for storing dry goods that you need to access frequently, as they are designed for easy removal and resealing.

Beyond Food: Versatile and Solvent Resistant
The robust nature of our food grade buckets extends beyond food storage. They are also solvent resistant and safe for use with a variety of non-food substances, including paints, varnishes, concrete, sealants, and asphalt coatings. However, it is crucial to remember that HDPE plastic can absorb chemicals over time, which could leach into food subsequently stored in the same bucket. Therefore, always dedicate new food grade buckets specifically for food storage to maintain food safety. For chemical storage, ensure compatibility and consider dedicated buckets.
To complete your food storage setup, we also offer Food Grade Mylar Bags for enhanced protection, Oxygen Absorber Packets to extend shelf life, and a Rubber Mallet Hammer to securely seal snap-on lids.
