From 12 August 2026 the EU caps PFAS in food-contact packaging. A practical UK operator guide to auditing your range and switching to bagasse, aqueous-coated paper or seaweed-based barriers before the deadline.
We've been very happy with these lids. They fit securely, are sturdy, and work perfectly with our salad bowls. Great quality product and reliable for takeaway and delivery orders. Will definitely purchase again.
These are aesthetically ugly with brown stains, I get it probably recycled card pulp and it does the job of holding cups but I’m disappointed. Compared the 4 cup holders ones you sell, those are much nicer with cleaner edges and surfaces. I recommend you use the same supplier as the 4 cup design.
