Look on the bottom of the bucket. If there's a triangle with a "2" in it and HDPE below the triangle they are food grade. I just looked at one of mine; we get them from a deli and they originally held pickles, relish, peppers, etc. Home Depot buckets have the same stamp!
HONEY BUCKETS and grades of plastic
What exactly are the specs for food grade containers used for storing honey?
Where I work, I get pet vitamin mixes in plastic buckets marked HDPE. The vitamins are inside a plastic bag that lines the 5 gal bucket. There is no chance of bleeding of odors/taste into the plastic bucket. These come from a food/feed grade distributor of vitamins and nutrient water treatments. Wiki says HDPE is used in milk jugs but I still don't know if they could be used for honey. Anybody know?:s
