When looking for plastic containers to suit your needs, it's important
to consider the intended use. Not all plastics are suitable for all
uses - in your case, I've sought out suppliers of food grade, FDA
compliant containers. Non compliant containers could contaminate your
product and make your customers ill!
I've selected only companies which mention that their products are
suitable for food use. Most companies do not make pricing available
on their websites - you'll need to contact the ones that interest you
with your order specifications for a quote.
