FIFO BOTTLE™ FAQ
What are the benefits of FIFO BOTTLE™?
What does FIFO mean?
Which valve should I use?
FIFO BOTTLE™ works with a wide range of sauces. You can customize FIFO BOTTLE™ for your needs by choosing the dispensing cap and valve which best suits your applications:
Small Valve (Green), ideal for thin and fluid sauces or fine beads of sauce.
Medium Valve (Yellow), ideal for most sauces including ketchup, mustard, BBQ and smooth sauces.
Large Valve (Blue), ideal for thick sauces, sauces with small particles and larger portion amounts, including mayonnaise, tartar sauce and thousand island dressing.
Viscous Valve (Light Blue)*, ideal for sauces like honey, caramel and thick syrups.
*We strongly recommended using the Vented Label Cap with FIFO Bottle™ when dispensing any sauces requiring the Viscous Valve.

What is a Vented Label Cap for?
The Vented Label Cap is for thick or viscous sauces. After a bottle is squeezed, air enters the bottle, filling it back up so it’s ready to squeeze again. With thick or viscous sauces this can take a bit longer so we created the vented cap at the top which allows air into the top of the bottle more quickly so it can be used again sooner!
For dispensing viscous sauces such as honey, caramel and other thick syrups from FIFO BOTTLE™, we recommend using the Vented Label Cap with the Viscous Valve cap.
Does FIFO BOTTLE™ contain BPA?

Do the FIFO BOTTLE™ wire racks work with all sizes of FIFO BOTTLE™?
What temperature range can FIFO BOTTLE™ handle?
FIFO BOTTLE™ will withstand temperatures of 180°F/82°C, making it commercial dishwasher safe. For optimal performance and safety, we advise to keep FIFO BOTTLE™ below 100°F/37°C when in use. FIFO BOTTLE™ can be used with warmed sauce at a maximum temperature of 140°F/60°C for up to two hours. Heating FIFO BOTTLE™ can result in leaking when the air inside expands as it warms, forcing sauce to leak from the valves.
Please note that as per the American Burn Association, severe burns can occur when in contact with substances above 120°F/48°C.
Can FIFO BOTTLE™ be microwaved?
What is the easiest way to fill my bottles?
Why is the Viscous Valve FIFO BOTTLE™ sold with a Vented Label Cap?
Can I Dispense other thick substances such as Nutella™, icing and smooth Peanut Butter with the VISCOUS Valve FIFO BOTTLE™?
Yes, however it’s important to note that the thicker a substance is, the greater the volume left in the “empty” bottle after use. Unlike thinner sauces which fall down towards the valve after each dispense, overly viscous substances may stick to FIFO BOTTLE’s™ walls, making them harder to evacuate from the bottle.
Using a product such as PORTION PAL™ or SAUCE GUN BOTTLE will result in higher yield when working with viscous substances. These products use a plunger to scrape the sides of the bottle while pushing the contents down and out through the valve.
