5 Gallon Buckets & Pails

A food grade five gallon bucket is created from materials that are approved for food contact and held to third party regulations to store food using FDA Compliant packaging and linings. Some examples include FDA Compliant and food grade plastic options (such as HDPE and PP) as well as some lined steel pails.

A regular 5 gallon bucket is designed to hold other products that are not food. This can include paints, chemicals, fatty acids, detergents and more. This can differ depending on the material of the bucket as well as if there are any linings on the inside.
