Not all Brute trash cans are food grade. I think white and grey are
ok, but not some of the other colors.
It says it on the lid I believe.

Just my two cents worth. I use HDPE food grade containers that I buy from
US Plastics. If you ask to talk to a tech rep they will tell you if the
container you are considering is safe for winemaking. Some of the foods
that go into some of the containers they sell are things like sauerkraut,
pickles etc. They also have an extensive table in their catalog which
shows the chemical stability for different materials used in the
manufacture of their products and the reaction to different chemicals.
They have very prompt service and I have been happy with them.
