Question from Stacey
Hi Debra,
I just discovered cooler bags and lunch bags called Packit, that are designed to keep food cool up to 10 hours. I love the concept and design of the bags which would be great for kid’s lunches as well as for many other uses.
The children’s lunch bags are made of polyester on the exterior, while the interior is made of PVA. It is also stated that these bags are PVC and lead free. Some of the other bags have a lining made of EVA/PE/high-density polyethylene.
What do you think of these bags? Would you add them to your List of safe products?
Debra’s Answer
I would and I’m going to! I’m in love with these bags too.
They are bags that have a freezable gel right inside the sides of the bag, so foods are kept cold from all directions. I can see these bags being useful for shopping, travel, lunch, so you can really take your food with you.
The materials are plastics, but the least toxic ones. There’s no way to make this product without plastic.
What a great idea! Bags come in 12 sizes, including a grocery-size bag.
Is the gel toxic in these bags? My dog ripped it apart and ate some.
Contact them and ask.
