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).

My kids aren't into sandwiches so we have to be pretty creative about lunch. And often there are small amounts of food that they want to keep separate until lunchtime. The 2oz jars are just right for salad dressing or dip or seeds or grated cheese or condiments. They are the only reasonably priced reusable very small containers I've found. My preschooler is fine with the lid and hasn't lost one yet. The 2oz bottle is less useful because it's harder to wash and dry.

good for yogurt & fruit
I have used the small size mostly for yogurt and fruits. My 5 year old can easily open and close this herself.

Handy and don't leak
I like these containers. They are handy and they don't leak. They came in round shapes; I think I'd prefer squares and rectangles as probably more packable. But these are quite useful. The small about 2/3 the size of a soda can; the large is about the size of a small plastic take-out soup container.

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

Love
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.

Perfect for me
The size holds sufficient food for lunch & it's convenient to eat out of. They stack well in the frig. The lid is well designed, comfortable to screw on and off.

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!

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 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.

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!
1 out of 1 customers found this review helpful
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!

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.
