Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Northern Pantry', a bustling deli in Leeds, was struggling with disorganised prep stations and food waste from using poor-quality containers. They switched to the Cambro FreshPro system to standardise their ingredient storage.
"These tubs have sorted our fridges right out. Prep is faster because everyone can see what’s what, and our ingredients are definitely staying fresher for longer. No more stained, cracked plastic tubs; these are proper kit."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
Since implementing the Cambro containers, The Northern Pantry reports that their prep time for daily service has been cut by 20% and ingredient waste has visibly decreased.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give containers a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Consider a simple labelling system (e.g., masking tape and a marker) to keep track of contents and dates.
- If you've bought the matching lids, ensure you have the correct size for a secure, airtight fit.
- Stack them empty and nested to see how much space you'll save before filling them up.
Keeping It Going
- While dishwasher safe, avoid high-temperature 'sterilise' cycles which may shorten the container's lifespan.
- Use non-abrasive sponges or cloths for cleaning to prevent scratching the surface.
- To remove stubborn stains like tomato or turmeric, a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water can help.
- Regularly check for any signs of deep scratches or cracks and replace any damaged containers.

A: Yes, when used with the corresponding lids, these containers are designed to be stacked securely on top of one another.

It’s the kind of operational peace of mind that allows you to focus on what truly matters: creating fantastic food.
Explore more from CambroWhat Does 'NSF Listed' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
You see 'NSF Listed' on a lot of professional equipment, but what does it mean for a simple food storage tub? Think of it as a seal of approval for food safety. The NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) is an independent organisation that tests products to make sure they meet strict standards for public health.
For this commercial food storage container 473ml, it means the polypropylene material is non-toxic, won't leach harmful chemicals into your food, and is designed to be smooth and easily cleanable, leaving no tiny crevices for bacteria to hide. In short, using an NSF Listed product like this helps you meet food hygiene regulations and gives you peace of mind that you're storing your ingredients in the safest way possible.
