How we test lunch gear

Every lunch box and ice pack goes through a real school week: packed at 7 a.m., left in a backpack, opened at lunch. We check what’s still cold, what leaked and whether a 6-year-old can open it alone.

  • Temperature checked at lunchtime, not just in the lab
  • Leak test with yogurt and juicy fruit
  • Can a kindergartner open it by themselves?
  • Dishwasher cycles to check seals and coatings
