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.

Stainless Steel Snack Pot – 250ml

For little appetites and everyday adventures.

Snacks travel everywhere with families — into rucksacks, school bags, coat pockets, pushchairs.

We created this 250ml snack pot for smaller portions and growing independence. Compact, durable and easy to use, it’s ideal for fruit, seeds, crackers, yoghurt or leftovers from breakfast.

Made entirely from food-grade 304 stainless steel with a silicone ring inside the rim of the lid to prevent leaks. The Earthlings logo is laser etched directly onto the snack pot, creating a permanent mark that will never peel, fade or wash away — a quiet symbol of gear designed to stay with your family for years. No inks, no coatings. Just honest materials thoughtfully formed.

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.

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.
