This Araven GN 1/3 food storage container is a straightforward, practical storage solution for commercial kitchens. Made from ABS plastic and sized to the standard GN 1/3 footprint, it fits directly into refrigerators, cold prep units, and bain-marie setups designed around gastronorm dimensions. The blue colour coding helps kitchens maintain a consistent food safety system, typically assigned to raw fish in HACCP-based colour-coding schemes, though individual kitchen protocols vary.

In day-to-day service, containers like this are workhorses — used for prepped ingredients, portioned proteins, sauces, and mise en place. The ABS material handles a wide temperature range, making it suitable for cold storage as well as holding prepped items at ambient temperature during service. It is both microwave and dishwasher safe, which reduces handling time during turnaround between services.

  • Blue colour coding supports HACCP food safety segregation systems
  • GN 1/3 footprint fits standard refrigeration and bain-marie configurations
  • ABS construction is dishwasher safe for efficient cleaning between services
  • Supplied with lid, colour-coded clips, and a wipe-clean identification label
  • Suitable for cold storage and ambient prep use across a temperature range of -40°C to 90°C

One practical consideration: ABS is a solid, reliable material for general storage, but it is not suitable for direct oven use or prolonged high-heat applications. For operations needing containers that move from fridge to oven, polycarbonate or stainless GN pans would be more appropriate.

This container is well suited to any kitchen running a colour-coded food safety system and working to GN-based storage. It works equally well in small independent kitchens as in larger operations that standardise on GN sizing throughout. If you are equipping a full storage setup across multiple GN sizes and depths, it is worth considering your full range of requirements together — we are happy to help you work through what makes sense for your operation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the blue colour coding typically used for in a commercial kitchen?

In most HACCP-based colour-coding systems used in UK commercial kitchens, blue is assigned to raw fish. However, colour-coding conventions can vary between operations, so it is worth confirming your kitchen's own food safety protocol before committing to a full set of colour-coded containers.

Can this container be used in a bain-marie or hot holding unit?

The ABS material is rated up to 90°C, which covers most cold storage and ambient prep applications, but it is not designed for direct oven use or prolonged exposure to high heat. For hot holding in a bain-marie, you would typically need a container specified for that purpose — stainless steel or a high-temperature polycarbonate GN pan would be more appropriate.

Is this container suitable for vacuum sealing or airtight storage?

The container is supplied with a lid and colour-coded clips that provide a secure, airtight seal, making it suitable for standard cold storage and helping to preserve prepped ingredients between services. It is not designed for use with external vacuum sealing equipment.
