A lunch box can be found in every kindergarten backpack and in every school bag. Because although there is now a break sale in almost every school, the vast majority of parents prefer homemade bread.
Because just like a homemade birthday cake, the snack is also an expression of love and security, which, with a little effort, can even put a smile on children's faces during boring school hours. The question remains: What goes in the snack box for children?

Which lunch box is suitable as a lunch box for children?
When it comes to lunch boxes, especially for kids, the packaging is almost as important as the contents because cheap plastic jars or plastic jars that contain BPA can have serious health consequences for children. The so-called plasticizers are ingredients that ensure that plastic that is actually brittle becomes elastic plastic, as you know it from everyday life.
The problem with these ingredients, however, is that plasticizers evaporate into the food and toxic plastic parts are then ingested by your child through food be able. This can lead to various symptoms, syndromes or even diseases such as ADHD and reduced fertility.
Experts therefore recommend lunch boxes made of stainless steel and glass, since BPA or plastic is only found in the seals. We at Sattvii go one step further and have developed stainless steel lunch boxes that completely do without BPA and plastic. But there are even more details you should pay attention to when buying a lunch box.
This is important for a children's lunch box:
- Leakproof
- Replacement seals possible
- Robust quality
- No risk of injury
- Easy to open
- Lunch box with subdivisions
Professionals also make sure that the stainless steel lunch box is dishwasher-safe and whether it is suitable for the oven, because even baked pasta or similar can be easily prepared in the lunch box. In addition, sustainability should play an important role, especially for parents, which is why you should look for lunch boxes that are produced CO2 neutral.
