Question from Shelly Pollard
Hi Debra,
Hi Debra. I’m wondering if you are familiar with S’well bottles. They are made in China although their site claims to be responsibly made there, out of “non-leaching, non-toxic, 18/8 stainless steel” and claim to be able to keep liquids hot for 12 hours and cold for 24 hours.
They appear to be a good company but my main question is around the stainless steel – can it really be non-leaching?
Many, many thanks for your help with this.
Debra’s Answer
To the best of my knowledge at the moment, it doesn’t make sense to me that some stainless steel leaches and some doesn’t.
Resolving this question is on my ongoing list of research questions.
I personally don’t use stainless steel for food or beverage storage. I can taste the metal.
