Small Glass Snack Jar

CLEAN & SAFE

Storing nuts, dried fruit, sauces, and small snacks

Materials

  • Soda-lime glass
  • Metal or BPA-free plastic lid

Common claims

  • Dishwasher safe
  • Reusable

Concerns / watch-outs

Materials

  • 18/8 stainless steel
  • powder coat exterior

Common claims

  • TempShield insulation
  • BPA-free and phthalate-free
  • Lifetime warranty

Concerns / watch-outs
