Because Children
Can’t Read Labels.
Dissolvable food labels that protect children with allergies. Zero residue means zero confusion between meals.
1 in 12 Children Has a Food Allergy
In 2017, three-year-old Elijah Silvera died after his daycare served him a grilled cheese sandwich despite a documented dairy allergy. His death led to Elijah’s Law in New York. Children rely entirely on staff to ensure they receive the correct food. When a container that held a peanut butter snack yesterday still has traces of yesterday’s label today, confusion happens. 25% of anaphylactic reactions in childcare settings involve children with no prior diagnosis.
Protect Every Child, Every Meal
Zero Label Residue = Zero Confusion
Label every container with contents, allergens, child’s name, and date. After washing, the label is completely gone. No partial text. No old allergen info. The container is truly clean for the next child’s meal.
Organized Storage Areas
Use Storage Bin Labels to clearly mark allergen-free zones, individual children’s bins, and dietary categories. Reusable/erasable labels can be updated as enrollment changes throughout the year.
Parent Confidence
Clean, residue-free containers show parents your facility takes food safety seriously. No sticky buildup, no peeling label remnants. Every container looks new during facility tours and inspections.
