Do I have this correct Illinois Warrior?? Is this the crux of that to which you are attempting to make clear here now??

If so I shall have to remember that as this seems to be in the "Details " here.


Also food grade buckets seem to be about 10 mils thicker. It was so too with the bakery Icing buckets as well as the pickle buckets years ago...noticeably thicker.


Thanks,

no - not all the bucket manufacturers screen in the FDA info like they should when selling to retailers - they just take stock from their regular food grade inventory and ship - especially when the purchase $$$$ isn't worth the run ....

with Home Depot having those two SKUs for white buckets - be willing to bet you'll find some substituting going on in the stores .....

what Lowes was doing was just slapping a "BPA Free" label on their buckets and claiming food grade - that'll get you in trouble with the FEDs ....
