Well made, but a bit tricky to screw & unscrew, and don't stack. Also, even the largest size isn't that big.

Why It Gets Our Seal of Approval

  • Replaces disposable plastic baggies
  • Ideal for lunches or meals on the go
  • Durable, safe, non-leaching plastic
  • Lightweight & recyclable
  • Dishwasher-safe
  • BPA-free
  • Made in the USA

Combine these food jars with one of our ACME lunch bags for a sustainable lunch kit.

Nalgene® reusable jars are lightweight, economical and virtually unbreakable. These jars are a smart, sustainable alternative to "use once & toss" disposable plastic baggies. Made of durable, safe polypropylene (8oz & 16oz) and HDPE plastic (2 oz).

Product Details

Dimensions
2 oz bottle (3.5" H x 1.5" D)
2 oz jar (2" H x 2" D)
8 oz (4.5" H x 2.5" D)
16 oz (3.5" H x 4.25 " D)

Design & Functionality
Designed to replace wasteful, disposable plastic snack bags, these jars are ideal for packing nutritional, safe lunches for yourself or your kids. The top is easy to screw on and off, yet stays on tight to ensure spill-free freshness. Fill them up with snacks, veggies, or fruit for a delicious and sustainable lunch or snack. Also perfect for hiking, camping, or road trips; these jars are made of virtually unbreakable, safe plastic and designed to withstand everyday use.

Sustainability
Nalgene® food jars are an intelligent alternative to the millions of disposable sandwich and snack baggies used each day. These containers are perfect for dishing out single-servings when you buy foods in bulk instead of buying pre-packaged snacks. In addition to being reusable, Nalgene bottles and jars are 100% recyclable!

Materials
Along with HDPE (#2) and LDPE (#4), polypropylene (#5) is a safe, non-leaching, and economical plastic. It’s tough and lightweight, as well as flexible and scratch-resistant. Nalgene bottles made from polypropylene resist UV penetration, which can damage and discolor the plastic. This plastic is dishwasher safe (top rack only) and able to withstand temperatures from 0 C (32 F) to 135 C (275 F).

About Nalgene

Nalgene sites are also registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) facilities. Made in the USA.

by Atmanand J - 09/2009

These containers are great. I bought a few. The only issue is with stain...found that out today. My wife made tomatoe soup and stored it in the containers. Yup, they are stained. Looks terrible. She hand washed them and still stained. Will likely use them in the home only. Too bad. I enjoyed packing snacks for work in them.

by Jeanine D - 11/2009

I bought the smallest ones for packing things like salad dressing. I was hoping to phase out plastic, but couldn't find anything so small that carries liquids that's not plastic. This is a handy size, but it is very difficult to wash these since the opening is so tiny.

These food jars are just what I was looking for. Sturdy, non-breakable, leakproof. Small one was a little smaller than I expected but its the perfect size for something you want a small serving of, like dessert or a snack.

These rock! My 7 yr-old & husband use them daily in lunches and they hold quite a bit. Easy lids to use too, which helps small hands. Highly recommended. I can get more grapes in one than my son has time to eat at lunch and enough animal crackers for 2 kids car snacking. Haven't used for liquids, but so far the water from grapes/carrots etc hasn't leaked. Going to buy MORE!

by Margaret A - 08/2009

I bought the 16 oz because I needed a good container to hold yogurt or to carry breakfast cereal (and could add milk to it once at work). It works like a charm! Surprisingly, I had a difficult time finding a nice little bowl like this one and I will probably purchase the set soon.

I bought all three for my lunch kit and I really like them. I put my salad in the largest container and my dressing in the smallest. The middle size is good for grapes and other little snacks. Easy to clean, too.

by Christine H - 01/2010

I gave these (16oz and 8oz) containers to my family so that we could pack more lunches when we go out. Love them! Great for sending individual salads or family portions of road snacks. They do take up a lot of room in the cupboard because they do not nest, but totally worth it for us.

No complaints so far, these are fabulous! I will be ordering more soon.

by Bridget T - 12/2009

I threw away all of my Tupperware and ordered six of these nalgene food jars (three 16 oz, two 8 oz and one 2 oz). I love them! The top screws on securely so I never worry about spilling. The 16 oz and 8 oz are great to transport food or snacks to work or hold leftovers in the fridge. I use the 2 oz one for my salad dressing/sauce - it is the perfect size and again I know it will not spill. They are kind of awkward to store because you have to stack them and they take up a lot of room - but so far I have been using them constantly so this is not a problem at all!

These jars are great, i was looking for a "safe" plastic jar instead of going with glass and chancing anything breaking.
