Food-grade butcher meat trays meet the most stringent safety standards for direct, prolonged contact with raw meat products in professional processing environments. These trays are manufactured from FDA 21 CFR and EU 10/2011 compliant materials that are rigorously tested to ensure no harmful substance migration into fatty or acidic meat components. The plastic formulations exclude phthalates, bisphenols, and heavy metal stabilizers that could compromise food safety. Special polymer blends resist absorption of meat juices and fats, preventing flavor transfer between different meat types during storage. The trays maintain their food-safe properties across extreme temperature ranges encountered in butcher operations—from -40°C freezer storage to 90°C sanitation cycles. Surface treatments enhance cleanability while resisting scratches that could harbor bacteria, with many versions incorporating FDA-approved antimicrobial additives. Colorants used in food-grade trays are specifically formulated for meat contact applications, with pigment systems that won't bleed or degrade during repeated washing. These trays undergo thorough migration testing to verify safety for extended meat contact times, including simulated long-term aging scenarios. The materials are odorless and tasteless, ensuring they don't impart any characteristics to sensitive meat products. Butcher-specific designs often feature reinforced areas for bone-in cuts and extra-thick bases for heavy primal handling, all while maintaining full food-grade compliance throughout the product lifecycle.
