Frequently Asked Questions
Are these containers food grade?
Yes. All Richmond clear food storage containers are made from food-grade materials, making them safe for direct contact with food in commercial and industrial environments. These containers meet hygiene and safety standards commonly required in kitchens, food processing areas, and catering operations. They are BPA-free and designed to resist leaching or contamination under typical food storage conditions. Their clear construction also helps reduce errors by allowing quick identification of contents. Whether you’re storing raw ingredients or prepped meals, these containers provide a reliable and compliant solution for safe food handling in professional foodservice settings.
Are they dishwasher safe?
Yes. Richmond’s clear food storage containers are designed to withstand repeated cleaning cycles in commercial dishwashers without degrading or warping. Their construction uses durable, high-quality plastic that resists heat and strong detergents typically used in kitchen sanitation processes. This makes them ideal for busy hospitality, catering, and food production environments where cleanliness is essential and time is limited. You can wash both the base and lids in a standard commercial dishwashing unit. This helps reduce manual cleaning labour while ensuring consistent hygiene levels. They are reusable, easy to sanitise, and safe for repeated use.
Can these be used in freezers?
Richmond’s clear food containers are suitable for use in commercial cool rooms and fridges. While many of our models are freezer-safe, it’s important to check the temperature rating of each specific container to confirm suitability for deep freezing. Some plastics may become brittle at very low temperatures, especially during long-term storage. If you’re storing food at or below -18°C, opt for containers specifically marked as freezer-grade. They are commonly used in kitchens for freezing sauces, soups, proteins, or pre-prepped ingredients. Using the right container protects food integrity and extends shelf life in both chilled and frozen conditions.
Do the lids seal tightly?
Yes. Richmond’s food storage container lids are designed to provide a secure fit that protects contents during transport and storage. While not airtight, the snug fit helps prevent accidental spills, reduce contamination risk, and retain freshness—especially in busy kitchens where containers may be stacked or moved frequently. The lid design also helps preserve ingredient quality by reducing exposure to air and moisture. This makes them ideal for storing everything from dry goods to wet ingredients in cool rooms, prep areas, and delivery runs. When properly applied, these lids keep your kitchen organised, compliant, and efficient.
Can these containers be used for pizza preparation?
Absolutely. Richmond’s clear food storage containers are ideal for pizza prep operations. They’re perfect for storing and organising ingredients such as shredded cheese, sliced vegetables, sauces, and dough portions in both prep stations and refrigerated topping rails. The clear design allows for quick visual checks during busy service, while the durable, food-grade construction withstands frequent handling and temperature changes in pizza kitchens. Using these containers helps streamline ingredient management, reduce cross-contamination, and maintain freshness throughout each shift—making them a reliable choice for pizzerias, restaurants, and takeaway operations.
