The format we do not stock

What the craft actually uses
A five gallon bucket, a mylar liner inside it, oxygen absorbers in the liner, and a gamma or gasketed lid on top. That is the standard assembly and it has been for decades.
What this shelf has
43 containers over a litre, 21 over a gallon, and none at all over three gallons. The largest thing here is 7.5 litres.
And none of the other three parts
No mylar liners, no oxygen absorbers, no gamma lids. The archetype's own word is "gasketed" and there are 9 liners and sealing discs on the shelf and no gasketed lid.
So this is a referral page as much as a catalog page
Somebody packing a year of rice is not served here, and telling them that costs one line item and keeps the relationship.
Where the shelf genuinely serves this craft
210 jars. The working pantry, the salt store, the seed vault, the opened bucket decanted into something you can actually get at. Those are real and this shelf is good at them.
Which is the honest division
We supply what sits on the shelf and gets used. We do not supply what goes in the basement for twenty years.
The archetype is describing the first of those
"Home pantry. Wide mouth, gasketed, and it sits on a counter so it is seen." That is a kitchen canister, and it is not what the emergency food leaf is about.
Even then the shelf sits below the window
The archetype runs 950 to 8,000 mL and the median container here is 237 mL. Most of this shelf is smaller than the thing the archetype describes.
Read the food grade section before buying anything
Because the phrase does most of the work in this category and almost nobody uses it correctly, including people selling containers.
And we do not use it at all
We publish material and capacity. We do not hold food-contact compliance documentation and so we do not describe anything here as food grade.
