GN container for allergy sufferers ARAVEN AR61172

A food storage container designed to keep allergenic ingredients separate from the rest of the kitchen. The purple colour provides an immediate visual cue, letting staff identify allergen-specific utensils and ingredients at a glance without opening lids or reading labels. Food storage containers of this type rely on a sealed lid to create a physical barrier between contents and the surrounding environment. The container itself is rigid, protecting food from crushing or spillage during transport between storage areas, prep stations and service points. A smooth, non-porous interior surface prevents residue from clinging, reducing the risk of cross-contamination when the container is reused. To use the container, the operator loads raw materials or utensils that are reserved for allergenic foods. The lid is pressed into place, forming a seal around the rim. Once sealed, the container can be stacked with others of the same size, saving space in walk-in fridges, dry stores and on worktops. When the contents are needed, the lid is removed and set aside; the container can then be lifted by its rim or carried by hand, depending on weight. The container is made from polypropylene, a material that withstands repeated washing at commercial dishwasher temperatures without warping or cracking. The purple colour is moulded into the plastic, so it does not fade or chip over time. The lid fits tightly but can be removed without tools, allowing quick access when ingredients are needed during service. The 30 litre volume provides enough space for bulk ingredients, prepped batches or a full set of utensils dedicated to allergen handling. The footprint of 530 by 396 millimetres fits standard shelving and worktops, while the 159 millimetre height allows stacking without exceeding typical shelf clearance. The weight of the empty container is light enough for one person to carry when full, reducing the need for trolleys or two-person lifts. The smooth polypropylene walls and seamless corners let kitchen staff wipe away residue without trapping flour or nut particles. The container and lid can be washed in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with standard kitchen detergents. The smooth surfaces allow food residue to be rinsed away without scrubbing, and the lack of seams or crevices prevents trapped debris. After washing, the container is left to air-dry or dried with a clean cloth before the next use. The purple colour coding is part of a system for allergen control, where each colour corresponds to a specific risk or ingredient group. This container is used for raw materials and utensils that must not come into contact with non-allergenic foods, ensuring compliance with food safety regulations without additional signage or training.
