frank green: what it’s actually made from

Every frank green product we have scored, with the maker’s own words about materials and what those words leave out. Average across the range: 31.3 out of 100.

We have scored 3 frank green products. They average 31.3 out of 100 on materials, and the spread between the best and worst is 34 points.

Of those 3: 1 name the surface that touches food at least to a material family; 1 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 frank green 3 Tier Insulated Bento Box (David Jones) for it to score 47, and so little about frank green Insulated Lunch Bag (David Jones) that it scores 13. Disclosure here is a per-product decision, not a house style.

Where these sit on the site

frank green appears in Bottles · Lunchboxes. The Australian and American editions are scored the same way, so a product marked AU and one marked US are directly comparable.
