Brilliant Basics: what it’s actually made from

We have scored 8 Brilliant Basics products. They average 22.5 out of 100 on materials, and the spread between the best and worst is 61 points.

Of those 8: 2 name the surface that touches food at least to a material family; 3 name no food-contact material at all; 0 state a country of manufacture; 0 have a materials claim backed by anything other than the maker’s own word.

That spread is the thing worth noticing. The same company publishes enough about Brilliant Basics Glass Drink Bottle 800ml (Big W) for it to score 61, and so little about Brilliant Basics Snack Containers 4 Pack (Big W) that it scores 0. Disclosure here is a per-product decision, not a house style.

Where these sit on the site

Brilliant Basics appears in Bottles · Cookware · Food storage. The Australian and American editions are scored the same way, so a product marked AU and one marked US are directly comparable.
