See photo of NSF Standard #2 (American National Standard For Food Handling Equipment) marking on the bucket.

Per NSF:

"NSF/ANSI 2-2025 covers the minimum food protection and sanitation requirements for the materials, design, fabrication, construction, and performance of food handling equipment. Such equipment includes bakery, cafeteria, kitchen, and pantry units and other handling and processing equipment like tables and components, counters, tableware, hoods, shelves, and sinks, among others.

Considerations in play here include the smoothness of angles and corners in a food zone, the usage of fasteners, latches, hinges, and the cleanability of various components for sanitation. These concerns, as well as many others, are outlined in the NSF/ANSI 2-2025 standard."

I bought 12 of these last year when it was on clearance for $4. I planned to make a cat motel pyramid out of them by stacking/gluing them sideways. Never got to it because I'm on SD all day long shopping.

Damn, bought some back in February, too long ago for a price match. BTW the buckets are nice, and the bottom edge is slightly rounded.

I asked a Costco rep via chat if these are food grade. I'll report back when I get the answer.

Just picked these up, can say they are great even while shopping as you can Tetris fit items in the bucket whilst you shop.
