WHY STAINLESS STEEL
A Better Material for Everyday Mealtimes
At The Little K Company, we believe the materials that come into contact with your child's food matter.
That's why our lunch boxes and snack containers are made from high-quality, food-grade 304 stainless steel. Unlike plastic, stainless steel is non-porous and inert, meaning it won't absorb food odors, stain over time, or interact with what's inside.
The result? Food stays fresher, and your investment lasts longer, and can be used day after day, year after year.
WHY STAINLESS STEEL
Why Parents Choose Stainless Steel
Non-Porous
Unlike some materials, stainless steel has a non-porous surface that won't absorb food colours, flavours, or odours.
That means yesterday's pasta won't leave behind lingering smells, and your products stay fresher use after use.
Durable
Designed to withstand everyday drops, bumps, and adventures, stainless steel is built for real family life.
Easy to Clean
Its smooth surface makes cleanup simple, whether washing by hand or placing it in the dishwasher.
Made to Last
Stainless steel products can be used for years, helping reduce the need for frequent replacements.
DESIGNED TO HELP PREVENT HIDDEN MOLD
Why We Use Stainless Steel for Food Contact
At The Little K Company, we choose stainless steel as our primary food-contact material wherever possible because it is durable, non-porous, and won't absorb food odours, flavours, or stains.
Some product features—such as leak-resistant seals, suction bases, lids, and straws—require flexibility to function properly. In these cases, we thoughtfully incorporate high-quality platinum-grade silicone to provide the functionality families need.
By combining stainless steel with carefully selected platinum-grade silicone, we're able to create products that are durable, practical, and designed for everyday family life.
The Little K Company Standard
We use high-quality 304 food-grade stainless steel in our products because it offers the durability and performance families need through every stage of childhood.
From baby bowls and plates to lunch boxes and snack containers, our goal is to create products that help make mealtimes simpler, safer, and built to last.
