Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The integrated, permanent label is a fantastic feature, far superior to sticky labels.
  • Con: The small, separate colour clips could be easily misplaced in a busy kitchen.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli in York was struggling with fridge organisation and  ensuring their new junior staff adhered to cross-contamination rules. They swapped their collection of assorted containers for a standardised system using the Araven colour-coded food containers.

"It's been such a simple but effective upgrade. The team can see what's what instantly, the colour clips are a brilliant visual cue for allergens, and  our fridges have never looked tidier. Stock-takes are faster, and  there's definitely less food being thrown out."

Michael Davies – Owner, The Corner Deli

The deli streamlined its prep process, leading to an estimated 20% reduction in daily food prep waste.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash the containers and  lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
  • Decide on your colour-coding system based on your kitchen's needs (e.g., red for raw meat, green for veg).
  • Use a good quality non-permanent marker on the wipe-clean label for best results.
  • Brief your team on the new system to ensure everyone is on the same page.

Keeping It Going

  • These are fully dishwasher safe, so pop them in for a hygienic clean.
  • To prevent odours building up, store the containers with their lids off or placed loosely on top.
  • Regularly check the airtight seals for any signs of wear or damage to ensure continued freshness.
  • Keep the small colour clips in a designated pot or drawer so they don't go missing during cleanup.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Storage

Not sure which container is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider.

Material Matters

Polypropylene (like this one) is brilliant for general use as it's durable and  microwave/dishwasher safe. For freezing or extreme clarity, you might look at polycarbonate, but polypropylene is the best all-rounder.

Gastronorm (GN) Sizing

If your kitchen uses standard fridges, counters, and  trolleys, choosing GN-sized containers (like this GN 1/9) means they'll fit perfectly into your existing setup, saving space and  hassle.

Lid Functionality

An airtight seal is non-negotiable for preserving freshness and  preventing spills. Always check that the lids are secure and  create a proper seal to protect your ingredients and  your profits.

Safety First

Look for features like BPA-free plastic and  colour-coding systems. These aren't just 'nice-to-haves'; they are essential for meeting food safety standards and  protecting your customers.

Stackability is Key

In a cramped kitchen, space is gold. Ensure your chosen containers are designed to stack securely, both with and  without lids, to make the most of every inch of your shelf and  fridge space.

How Colour-Coding Prevents Costly Mistakes

Ever wondered what the little coloured clips are really for? They're more than just decoration; they are a vital part of a professional food safety plan (often called HACCP). Think of it like a traffic light system for your ingredients. You can assign a colour to a specific food group—for instance, red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for salads and  fruit, and  yellow for cooked meats.

By simply clipping the right colour onto your food container, any member of staff can tell at a glance what's inside without even reading the label. This simple visual cue drastically reduces the risk of cross-contamination, where bacteria from raw meat could accidentally be transferred to ready-to-eat salad. It's a simple, low-tech feature that provides high-level protection, ensuring you're not just organised, but also operating safely and  professionally.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect for organising your mise en place and  keeping prepped veg, sauces, and  garnishes fresh and  ready for service.
  • Cafés & Delis: Ideal for storing sandwich fillings, salad ingredients, and  coffee beans, ensuring quick access and  maximum freshness.
  • Mobile Caterers: The secure, airtight lids make them brilliant for safely transporting ingredients to events without spills or spoilage.
  • Farm Shops & Grocers: A professional way to store and  display loose items or package prepared foods for customers with confidence.
