Price Match

This Araven 1/6 gastronorm container is part of a colour-coded allergen management system designed for commercial kitchen use. The purple colour is widely recognised in professional kitchens as a dedicated allergen identifier, making it straightforward to keep allergen-containing ingredients physically separated from the rest of your prep and storage. Used correctly, colour-coded containers like this one form a practical, visible layer of allergen control within a broader food safety protocol.

Made from polypropylene, the container handles the day-to-day demands of a working kitchen well. It tolerates temperature extremes from freezer storage through to hot holding conditions, copes with repeated dishwasher cycles without distorting, and resists the kind of knocks and drops that are routine in a busy service environment.

From an operational standpoint, the container offers a few features worth noting:

  • Pull-tab lid allows quick one-handed access during service
  • Wipe-clean integrated label panel for date and content marking
  • Stackable profile helps keep fridge and cold storage organised
  • Dishwasher and freezer safe for flexible use across prep and storage
  • Fits standard 1/6 GN slots in gastronorm-compatible equipment

The 1/6 size suits portioned ingredients, garnishes, sauces, and allergen-specific components where smaller volumes are the norm. It fits directly into gastronorm-compatible cold wells, bain-maries, and prep inserts, which makes it practical for both storage and service line use. For operations that store larger quantities of allergen ingredients, the same range is available in larger GN sizes.

If you are setting up a full allergen colour-coding system across your kitchen and want to make sure you are choosing the right sizes and quantities for your workflow, the team is happy to help you work through it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this container suitable for use on a service line as well as storage?

Yes. The 1/6 GN footprint fits standard gastronorm-compatible cold wells and bain-marie inserts, so it can move directly from storage into a service line position without decanting. The pull-tab lid also makes it practical during a busy service when quick access matters.

Does the purple colour fade with regular dishwasher use?

Araven's colour is moulded into the polypropylene rather than applied as a surface finish, so it does not fade or wash out over time. This keeps the colour-coding reliable and legible even after prolonged heavy use in a commercial dishwasher environment.

How many of these containers would a typical kitchen need for an allergen system?

It depends on how many allergen-containing ingredients you handle and how your prep workflow is structured. A straightforward approach is to have enough containers to cover each allergen category you work with at both prep and service stages, with spares cycling through the dishwasher. If you are setting up a full colour-coded system, it is worth speaking with the team to make sure you are covering the right categories and sizes.
