Food & Beverage FAQ
How do I know a container is truly food-grade?
All our food-grade containers come with documentation showing previous contents history. We verify that containers have only held food-safe materials and provide chain of custody records. The HDPE material itself meets FDA 21 CFR 177 requirements for food contact.
Can I use reconditioned IBCs for organic products?
Yes, with proper verification. For organic products, we recommend either new containers or Grade A containers with verified food-grade history from non-prohibited substances. We can provide documentation to support organic certification requirements.
What cleaning agents do you use?
We use FDA-approved, food-safe cleaning and sanitizing agents. Our cleaning process follows food industry standards and all agents are thoroughly rinsed. Final rinse pH testing confirms no residual cleaning agents remain.
How do I handle allergen concerns?
For allergen-sensitive applications, we offer containers with verified allergen-free history or new containers that have never held any product. Let us know your specific allergen concerns and we can select appropriate containers.
Do you offer custom cleaning protocols?
Yes, we can accommodate specific cleaning requirements for your facility or products. If you have a validated cleaning procedure or specific sanitization requirements, we can work with your quality team to meet your needs.
Can containers be used for both hot and cold filling?
Standard HDPE IBCs are rated for temperatures from approximately 0°F to 140°F (-18°C to 60°C). For hot-fill applications above 140°F, consult with us about container specifications and ensure your filling temperature is compatible.
