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've been thinking about treating myself to a new bucket but it just seemed too extravagant

It's an even better deal when you stop by the food court and ask them to fill it up with nacho cheese.

Just only fill the top one.

I've never seen them carry lids, so unfortunately, 'no'

These are food grade buckets, FWIW.

Just came back from Costco shopping. Went for milk. Spent $200. Per usual. Picked up these buckets for $4.99. One of those buy now, justify later purchases. Honestly, dollar tree pricing per bucket for such sturdy one...umpteen uses in the backyard is what I'm winging it as Wink. Had half a mind to tell spouse when I saw the raised eyebrows while unloading the car that it came free with auto renewal but not being a natural lier sabotaged the otherwise believable lie.

Never saw these in the warehouse. What area of a warehouse would one commonly find these in?

I don't see that anywhere... Food grade has specific symbols they put on the buckets typically and these don't seem to have that
