What Customers Are Saying
These 5-gallon buckets are generally well-made and sturdy, suitable for storing food or using as planters. Many customers appreciate the food-grade quality, though some report the buckets are not actually food-grade as advertised. The Texas-themed design is an appealing feature for some, but not preferred by all. While an affordable option, it's important to verify the food-grade certification before purchase.

Not Food Grade

NOT FOOD GRADE
Would Not RecommendI bought several of these buckets a few years ago to store rice/sugar/flour because they were advertised as food grade. Today I went to buy some more, and in the description of the product it says explicitly "Not considered food grade; product caption is incorrect". If they KNOW that it is not FOOD GRADE, and the "product caption is incorrect" WHY DON'T THEY FIX THE PRODUCT CAPTION instead of just adding this note. I looked up "Encore 50640 bucket" and the results all show that this is just a pa...
Price

They have the Texas flag on them
Got my buckets on time and in good condition
Not white on backside
Would RecommendBucket is fine except it has a big Texas state shape on the backside and we are in California. I was hoping it was just white as it looked in the pic when ordering it.
Good Bucket that won't leech contaminants.
Would RecommendAs described but interestingly enough each pail has the "Lowes" imprint but also has the "Texas" state outline on the opposite side which looks great.
GREAT PRICE HOWEVER BE SURE BUCKETS AREN'T DAMAGED
Would RecommendDifficult to find items in store that were not damaged from method of display. 1/2 OF ALL FLOOR INVENTORY WAS DAMAGED ON SEALING EDGE OF BUCKET TOP SCRACHED UP FROM BEING DISPLAYED UPSIDE DOWN ON STORE FLOOR. SERIOUS FOOD STORAGE REQUIRES CLEAN AND FLAWLESS SEAL FOR THE LIDS TO SEAL PROPERLY AND LAST.
Good for storage
I really like the buckets with available lids. They are great for storing things outside. They are stackable and water tight.
It's exactly what you picture
Would RecommendThis bucket truly delivered. It's exactly what you would expect from a food grade 5 gallon bucket.
Good product/bad shipping
Like the product-don’t like that the box was smashed.
Don't kick the bucket.
Would RecommendI needed food grade buckets and lids and Lowe's delivered promptly and at a good price.
Wrong buckets
Would Not RecommendI ordered plain food grade buckets. I receive buckets with a red, white and blue state of Texas on them. Why?
