Does USDA Meat & Poultry Equipment Group Listed mean safe for sap ?

[Tor Haxson]

Fellow Sap Suckers..

I bought 2 of these

ww.rubbermaidcommercial.com/rcp/products/detail.jsp?rcpNum=2620

Rubbermaid 2620.

If they are gray white or yellow the maker says..

Gray, White and Yellow are USDA Meat & Poultry Equipment Group Listed and assist in complying with HACCP guidelines.
Certified to NSF Standard #2 (gray, white and yellow) and Standard #21(all colors)

Would these containers make reasonable sap storage containers ?

My concern is the Meat and Poultry safe is not the same as safe for liquid storage ?

I also occasionally have the need to store pear or apple juice. I suppose acidic juices might have more strict requirements.

Any advice welcome,

Thanks

I would feel comfortable using theses for sap.

I would also feel comfortable using these for sap assuming you'll be storing no more than a few days time. They are not recommended for juice storage per Rubbermaid. FAQ.


Can I store wine or other juices in this container?

This container is not recommended for wine or juice applications due to the polyethylene material. Polyethylenes are not good vapor barrier and could affect the taste of the contents due to oxidizing.
