This Araven 1/1 gastronorm food container is part of a dedicated allergen management system designed for professional kitchens that need a reliable, consistent way to segregate allergen-containing ingredients and prepared foods. The container is moulded in purple polypropylene — a colour assigned specifically to allergen use within Araven's colour-coded system — and comes with ColourClips and a label panel so kitchen teams can identify contents at a glance without opening the lid.

Made from BPA-free polypropylene of the same grade used in medical equipment manufacture, the material is non-porous, odour-resistant, and straightforward to clean thoroughly. The airtight lid helps maintain food quality during cold storage and prevents cross-contact from airborne particles — a practical consideration in busy prep environments where multiple ingredients are handled simultaneously. The container is suitable for use across a wide temperature range, making it appropriate for refrigeration, freezing, and gentle reheating applications.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the gastronorm-compatible footprint means the container fits directly into standard GN storage systems, refrigeration units, and prep tables, so there is no need to change how your storage is organised to accommodate allergen segregation.

  • Purple colour coding keeps allergen foods visually distinct from general stock
  • Airtight lid reduces cross-contact risk and maintains freshness in cold storage
  • GN 1/1 format integrates with existing refrigeration and prep table configurations
  • BPA-free, medical-grade polypropylene is non-porous and easy to sanitise
  • ColourClips and label panel support clear allergen identification for kitchen teams

This container is well suited to any commercial kitchen with a formal allergen management procedure — from restaurants and contract caterers to school kitchens and care facilities. For sites with higher volumes of allergen-segregated prep, it is worth considering whether a broader range of sizes would better support your workflow.

If you are reviewing allergen storage as part of a wider kitchen compliance review, we are happy to talk through what would work for your specific setup.

Frequently asked questions

Is this container suitable for use in blast chillers and commercial freezers?

Yes — the polypropylene used in this container is rated for low-temperature environments, making it appropriate for both commercial freezer storage and blast chilling applications. Always ensure the airtight lid is properly secured before placing the container in a blast chiller to maintain the seal under rapid temperature change.

Does the purple colour indicate a specific allergen, or is it a general allergen container?

Within Araven's system, purple is assigned as the dedicated allergen colour rather than indicating one specific allergen. Kitchens typically use the included label panel and their own allergen management procedures to identify exactly which allergen each container holds, so the colour serves as a clear first visual indicator that the contents require allergen-aware handling.

Will this container fit standard gastronorm refrigeration units already in use in our kitchen?

The 1/1 gastronorm footprint is the standard full-size GN format, so it will sit correctly in the vast majority of GN-compatible refrigerators, cold prep tables, and storage systems. If your current cold storage uses a different GN size configuration, it is worth checking the internal dimensions before ordering to confirm compatibility.
