Was up at CostCo and came across these:
A three-pack of what appear to be food grade buckets. I’ve got plenty of buckets on hand these days so I didnt pick any up, but if youre putting stuff away in bulk and need some buckets…it looks like CostCo has you covered. At least, here in this particular one.
What tells you these are food grade on that label
The 2 in a triangle of arrows above the HDPE in the second picture.
I think it’s the NSF #2 standard, National Sanitation Foundation grade 2 means it’s safe for potable water and food. Usually means the release agent from the mold isn’t toxic, non-food grade it is some form of petroleum product.
” NSF/ANSI 2 establishes minimum food protection and sanitation requirements for the materials, design, fabrication, construction and performance of food handling and processing equipment (such as bakery, cafeteria, kitchen and pantry units) and other food handling and processing equipment (such as tables and components…”
A 3 pack was $10 at my local Costco, but I didn’t see any lids.
my costco here in ft worth sucks…they never have the stuff you post CZ and i was just there today…i did pick up a life straw at the wally world today though for $10…if there are any left next week i’m going to grab a couple more…
I bet the CostCos in Utah have some epic preparedness stuff
Number One on my bucket list –
I hope I never NEED a bucket list…
NSF Standard #2 covers food equipment, if the bucket was made to that standard then it is food grade.
