Does the Kid Basix Stainless Steel drink range have nickel in it?
We use food grade stainless steel (300 series or 18/8) in all of our products, which has a maximum of 8% nickel. It is the presence of nickel that results in the formation of the molecular structure that gives this grade some of its key characteristics such as high strength, ductility (ability to be formed) and toughness. It is our understanding that all stainless steel has some nickel in it and it does not pose a health threat. However, there is a small percentage of the population that has a nickel allergy in which case they should stay away from all stainless steel as it may cause a skin rash.
