Amazon Shoppers Love These Non-Toxic Kitchen Utensils and Tools

It seems like every time you read the news, more information has dropped about the dangers of microplastics in food, and some of the kitchen tools and gadgets we’re using are the culprits. From black plastic utensils and plastic cutting boards to Teflon cookware sets, studies show that these tiny particles of plastic are getting into our food (they’re even in gum) and going into our bodies. To get ahead of the curve, many Amazon shoppers are transforming their kitchens with non-toxic alternatives.

Specifically, they’re ditching plastic tools for better choices, including wooden kitchen utensils, bamboo cutting boards, glass storage containers, and more. Make the switch and shop these shopper-loved, non-toxic kitchen tools, starting at just $4.
