When will Earthlings launch?

We're in production now. We'll contact Founding Families directly when the first run is confirmed and ready to ship. We'd rather tell you when we're certain than give you a date we can't keep.

What does being a Founding Family mean?

Founding Families are the first people to access the Earthlings Everyday Adventure System when the first production run is ready. You'll receive an email 48 hours before we open to the public, with £10 off any bundle included — no code, no time limit. No newsletter you didn't ask for.

What exactly are the products made from?

The lunch boxes, snack pots, dip pot, and bottle are made from 304 food-grade stainless steel (18/8) — no coatings, no inks, no liners. The logos are laser-etched directly into the metal. The seals are food-grade silicone, removable without tools. The spork is titanium.

Can I put my adventure system in the dishwasher?

Yes. All Earthlings lunchboxes, snack pots, bottles and cutlery including their cases are dishwasher safe.

Stainless steel is durable, non-reactive, and completely food safe — designed to last years, not seasons. It won't stain, absorb odours, or need replacing every couple of years the way plastic containers often do. 304 food-grade stainless steel — the grade used in Earthlings products — is the same material used in professional kitchen equipment. It's independently tested for heavy metal migration, REACH SVHC compliant, and dishwasher safe for daily use. Unlike many plastic containers, it doesn't degrade with heat, won't absorb food smells over time, and doesn't need replacing when it discolours.

Is a stainless steel lunchbox better than plastic?

For everyday school use, stainless steel outperforms plastic on durability, hygiene and longevity. Plastic containers crack, stain, warp in the dishwasher and absorb food odours over time. A well-made stainless steel lunchbox won't do any of those things. The more useful question for most families is total cost over time. A plastic lunchbox replaced twice a year costs more over three years than a stainless steel system bought once. It also produces more waste. Earthlings systems are independently tested for food safety, dishwasher safe, and designed to be used daily for years.

Growing Appetites Bundle

Bigger pots for bigger appetites. Save £10.90 vs buying separately.

The Earthlings Growing Appetites Bundle is three 350ml Stainless Steel Snack Pots, sized for older children, teens and adults, and for the days when a small snack isn’t quite enough.

Each pot is leakproof and made to work alongside what you already have, whether that’s a lunchbox, a bag or a routine that already suits your family. Use them for pasta, salad, fruit or a second helping of lunch. If you have other Earthlings pieces, a 50ml Dip Pot (sold separately) fits inside with room for another small item, and a 250ml Snack Pot (sold separately) nests inside for storage, so the cupboard stays tidy as needs change.

Made from food-grade 304 stainless steel, with a silicone seal inside each lid that keeps it leakproof. No inks or coatings, just a laser-etched logo that won’t peel, fade or wash away. Three pots, made to keep up as appetites grow.

Safety & Compliance

Built for everyday adventures and independently tested for food safety.

✓ LFGB Food Contact Tested
The snack pots have been independently tested to German LFGB food-contact standards, one of the most rigorous food safety frameworks in Europe. Both the stainless steel container and silicone lid components achieved a PASS result.

✓ Taste & Odour Neutral
Independent sensory testing confirmed no detectable transfer of taste or odour, helping food stay fresh and taste exactly as intended.

✓ BPA-Free Materials
The food-grade silicone lid was tested for Bisphenol A (BPA) and achieved a PASS result, with BPA not detected during testing.

✓ Heavy Metal Migration Tested
The stainless steel container was independently tested for the migration of regulated metals including lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, nickel and chromium. All results were well within permitted food-contact limits and achieved a PASS result.

✓ Food-Grade Materials
Crafted from durable food-grade stainless steel with a food-safe silicone lid designed for repeated daily food contact. Both materials were independently assessed for food-contact safety.

✓ No Colour Transfer
Testing confirmed that the silicone lid did not release colour when exposed to food simulants, supporting safe everyday use with a variety of foods.

✓ Low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
The silicone lid passed testing for volatile organic matter, helping ensure materials remain suitable for food-contact applications.

✓ PAH Tested
Testing for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), a group of potentially harmful compounds, returned non-detectable results across all tested substances.

✓ Independently Laboratory Verified
Testing was carried out by SGS, one of the world’s leading independent testing and certification organisations, verifying compliance with recognised food-contact safety standards.

Made to Last

At Earthlings, we believe everyday objects should work harder, travelling further and staying in use for as long as possible.

Made from food-grade 304 stainless steel with a silicone sealing ring, these pots are built for daily use, daily washing and years of reuse. They work alongside what you already have: a 250ml pot nests inside for storage, and a 50ml Dip Pot fits inside with room for another small item. As appetites grow, nothing needs to be replaced.

FAQs

Why three pots?

Three larger pots cover fuller days: lunch, a side and something for later, or a meal for two people. They also make rotation easy, with one in the bag, one in the wash and one ready for tomorrow.

Are the pots leakproof?

Yes. Each pot has a food-grade silicone sealing ring and a secure stainless steel twist-on lid, so yoghurt, fruit, overnight oats and dips stay contained on the go.

Do the pots fit inside the Earthlings lunchboxes?

The 350ml pots are made to sit alongside a lunchbox rather than inside it. A 50ml Dip Pot fits inside a 350ml pot with room for another small item, and a 250ml pot nests inside for storage.

What age is this bundle suitable for?

The 350ml size suits older children, teens and adults, and any day when a small snack isn’t quite enough.

Can children open them themselves?

Each pot has a simple twist-on lid, designed to support growing independence at snack time.

What can I pack inside?

The 350ml size suits fuller portions:

pasta, rice or grain salads,
fruit salad,
yoghurt with granola,
overnight oats,
leftovers
vegetable sticks with dip.

The pots aren’t insulated, so they’re best for food eaten cold or at room temperature.

How much does 350ml hold?

Each pot holds 350ml, slightly more than a standard 330ml drinks can. That’s about a meal-sized portion of pasta or salad.

Can I buy the pots individually?

Yes. The 350ml Snack Pot is also available on its own.

What are the snack pots made from?

The pot is made from durable food-grade 304 stainless steel with a food-safe silicone sealing ring inside the lid. It’s designed for years of daily use and repeated reuse.

Are they BPA-Free?

Yes. The snack pots are BPA-free, lead-free and made from food-contact safe materials independently tested for everyday food use.

Does food taste metallic?

No. 304 stainless steel doesn’t react with food or hold on to flavours. The silicone sealing ring can pick up strong smells over time, so remove it and wash it separately now and then.

Are they dishwasher safe?

Yes. The pot, lid and sealing ring are all dishwasher safe. Remove the ring before washing so water doesn’t collect behind it.

Will they rust?

No. The snack pots are made from rust-resistant 304 stainless steel, a material widely used in food preparation and kitchen equipment because of its durability and corrosion resistance.

How long should it last?

The snack pot is designed for years of daily use. Its durable stainless steel construction helps it withstand drops, daily washing and countless adventures, replacing hundreds of disposable bags and plastic tubs over its lifetime.

Can I put it in the microwave?

No. Like all stainless steel containers, it should never be placed in a microwave.

What is 304 Stainless Steel?

Stainless steel comes in different grades, each designed for different uses. Some grades are better suited to industrial or construction use, while others are specifically chosen for food contact and everyday durability.

304 stainless steel is one of the highest quality and most widely trusted food-grade stainless steels. It offers an excellent balance of strength, rust resistance, safety, and longevity, making it ideal for lunchware and food containers. It’s highly resistant to corrosion, won’t absorb flavours or odours, and is easy to clean and dishwasher safe.

Unlike lower-grade metals, 304 stainless steel is designed to withstand years of daily use without degrading — making it a durable, reusable alternative to plastic.
