Lead Free Products
There is a consensus among public health experts that no amount of lead exposure is safe, especially for children. Lead exposure, even in tiny doses, has been linked to IQ deficits, behavioral problems, and many significant health issues. At LunchBots, we are committed to offering the safest, lead-free products.
Stainless Steel
LunchBots lids and containers are manufactured from the highest quality, food grade, Type 304 stainless steel. Stainless steel is an alloy made from natural elements and is one of the safest materials for food storage and handling. Type 304 stainless is commonly known as 18/8 stainless. This type of stainless steel has great resistance to stain or rust and is easy to clean and durable.
Powder Coating
The tops of the LunchBots lids have been powder coated to add color. Powder coating is a durable finish that does not emit any volatile organic compounds (VOC). The coating is applied electrostatically and then cured in an oven. Any overspray is recycled and reused. The bottom of each lid is not powder coated and is natural stainless steel.
Lab Testing
LunchBots have been independently tested by Metallurgical Laboratories in Concord, California and are certified to be completely lead-free.
