Pickle tub packs foodservice benefits

A shelf-stable, high-density polyethylene container of sliced pickles from Dean Foods, Franklin Park, IL, ensures that Oakbrook, IL-based McDonald’s operators and its customers are well served.

Developed by Fabri-Kal (www.f-k.com), the patent-pending 100-oz (0.8-gal) HDPE FS-100 container saves labor for operators and enhances food freshness for customers. It also cubes better in replacing a larger, 1.2-gal round HDPE container from which operators would transfer pickles to a stainless-steel tub. The single-use HDPE tub fits directly into a food preparation table where the stainless-steel tub did before. The new tub has been rolling out system-wide in the chain in the United States since late ’01.
