Contigo: what it’s actually made from

Every Contigo product we have scored, with the maker’s own words about materials and what those words leave out. Average across the range: 50.7 out of 100.

We have scored 3 Contigo products. They average 50.7 out of 100 on materials, and the spread between the best and worst is 31 points.

Of those 3: 2 name the surface that touches food at least to a material family; 1 state a country of manufacture; 1 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 Contigo Autoseal Couture 20oz 2-Pack (Costco) for it to score 61, and so little about Contigo Kids Straw Bottle 14 oz that it scores 30. Disclosure here is a per-product decision, not a house style.

Where these sit on the site

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