Product Overview
Here’s a fantastic bit of kit that brings simple, effective organisation to the heart of your kitchen. The Pujadas HT887 is a robust, 1/6 Gastronorm polypropylene lid, specifically designed in purple to make your allergen management system a breeze. It’s a small detail that makes a massive difference to your daily operations, providing a clear, instant visual cue for all your staff.
This lid is built for the hustle and bustle of any professional food environment, from local cafes and bustling restaurants to large-scale catering operations and school canteens. If you handle multiple ingredients and take food safety seriously (and who doesn't?), this colour-coded system is a non-negotiable. It’s the perfect partner for your prep station, ensuring ingredients stay fresh, protected, and, most importantly, correctly identified.
Boasting an impressive temperature range from a frosty -40°C to a steamy 110°C, this versatile lid can go from the freezer to the bain-marie without a fuss. While many kitchens look for a standard 1/6 Gastronorm polycarbonate lid, this polypropylene version from Pujadas offers superior flexibility and durability. It’s the simple, smart solution to keeping your ingredients safe, organised, and fresh.

- Pro: The colour-coding is a foolproof way to manage allergens in a fast-paced environment.
- Con: It doesn't have a utensil notch, so serving spoons must be removed for a snug fit.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli in Chester, Cheshire was struggling with potential cross-contamination risks during their hectic lunch rushes. They needed a simple, visual system to separate their gluten-free and other allergen-specific ingredients without slowing down the team.
"We were using labels, but they'd fall off or get messy. These purple lids were an instant fix that the whole team understood immediately. No more confusion, just clear, safe prep every time. Our process is now much more robust."
David Mitchell – Owner
The deli successfully reduced prep errors related to allergens by over 90% and boosted staff confidence in handling special dietary orders.

Why is a purple lid so important? It's not just about aesthetics; it's about creating a universal language in your kitchen that protects both your customers and your business. Think of it like a traffic light system for your ingredients. Green might be for veggies, red for raw meat, and this specific purple acts as a clear 'stop and think' sign for allergens like gluten-free or nut-free products. It removes guesswork, meaning any member of staff, whether it's their first day or they've been there for years, can instantly see which container requires special handling. This simple visual cue dramatically reduces the risk of a dangerous and costly cross-contamination incident.
