Low Tox Food Containers

The secret to a healthier, lower tox food container is to avoid plastic. Food containers come into direct contact with food ( unlike- say- a lunch box) which is why - if you can only choose one plastic free, low tox item for school- THIS should be it. It is that easy.

Personally I recomend avoiding ALL plastics because just about all plastics have been found to have the potential for estrogenic activity (ie: they can mimic the hormone estrogen and lead to issues with your endocrine system and beyond).

Additionally, plastic food containers just don’t last long. You often have to replace them yearly (or more often) and then they end up in the garbage for hundreds of years without biodegrading. UGH

Better options? For kid’s school lunches I like stainless steel and silicone.

Some of my favorite food containers are:

  • Lunchbots:

Stainless Steel Trio snack container

Stainless Steel Large 5 Container

Thermal 12 oz Insulated container

Thermal 16oz stainless steel insulated container
