The Least-Interesting , But Perhaps One Of The Most-Important Meat Processing Topics

Just because a tub is not marked as food safe, does not automatically mean it is not.
It may mean it just was never tested/certified/stamped by some agency. Looking at what kind of plastic it is made of is probably a good start.I guess I might be a little cautious about using a container that was made of recycled materials. With those, you don’t have a clue what residues are in there and what chemicals may have come along for the ride.
processhead Site won’t let me upvote you… Tried

JoeB They are $6 or $7 at lowes or home depot. Don’t know about food grade but my father found them about 40 years ago and been using ever since to mix sausage in. Might not be suitable for commercial but we have never had a problem and because of the flat bottom and curve in the ends they sure work nice. Just checked it is marked PP 5.
bocephus I think for me the size is too big for my meat fridge. If you are a diy woodworker i’ll send you a plan to use the lugs as pull out storage bin pullout inserts, Mobil Coaster- door cabinet . Cheers

JoeB Just looking at some of my profile and I apparently down voted one of my own posts, must be getting too critical in my old age.

bocephus Well all is not lost… You feel bad for yourself … Just double upvote yourself to get even with you for a better day
BTY… I won’t tell any one. -
I know we had the accidental down vote discussion before. I found I could go into my profile and remove them.
