Glass Baby Food Jars (Set with Silicone Lids)

Food sits in glass, the most inert material we score. The silicone lid can release at most trace particles or siloxanes, more so with heat and age. Undisclosed glass type and marking ink are the only gaps.

1 / 10 Low plastic footprint $$

Stackable glass baby food jars with airtight silicone lids, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher safe, replacing plastic baby food storage.

How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging Plastic-free
Heat and thermal shock resistant glass jars with airtight silicone lids. Glass type not specified by the brand.
Microplastic shedding and leaching Sheds very little
None from glass. The silicone lid is not a petroleum plastic and is not a microplastic source the way plastic is, though as a polymer it can release trace particles or siloxanes, more so with heat and age. Whether silicone forms microplastics is still an open question.
End of life: persistence and recovery Recovers well
Not stated. Recyclable, repairable, or genuinely recovered; low persistence.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern Some concern
Some plastic-contact chemistry is possible; see the notes.
Transparency and verification Partly disclosed
Moderate: components named, but glass type, marking chemistry, origin, and certifications absent

Strengths

Trade-offs
