We began converting our babies’ dishes several years ago, and we’ve been collecting information on safer adult food storage options along the way. It’s amazing now to sit back and look over the sheer number of readily available products.

We’re positive you’ll find something that will fit your needs perfectly.

These bags are food safe, extremely durable, grease-proof and can even be thrown in the dishwasher. They come in a set of two, one orange and one green, and are perfect for lunch or snack pairings of fruit, sandwiches or chips. Made in the USA.
Plum Creek Mercantile
The folks at Plum Creek Mercantile have provided 100% cotton twill snack bags and food bags in an effort to help you avoid filling the landfill with plastic baggies. Although they are not to be used for liquid (i.e. soup) or soft fruit items (i.e. raspberries due to staining) they can be used to contain most lunch box items. Even a gooey PB&J or turkey sandwich will stay contained in this bag. A simple washing after its use will remove any extra gooeyness that has been contained by the fabric. They can be machine washed and dried or handwashed with the dinner dishes and hung to dry for use the next morning. Each bag has a strong and secure hook and loop closure, yet easy enough for even the littlest of hands to open.
Fresh Snack Pack
The reusable Fresh Snack Pack bags are Mom-invented and are made from durable EVA, which is a great alternative to PVC, and even have a built-in placemat. They definitely send a great message to our kids and schools about the importance of reusing all that we can.
