The new squeezable food pouches are everywhere these days. You can buy a strawberry-banana blend at your local Starbucks, or a carrot-apple sauce at your local grocery store. But where do you find reusable pouches that you can fill with your own healthy recipes?

Enter Re-Pac Bags. The makers of the already popular reusable sandwich and snack bag have begun to offer their newest product online: reusable, refillable, zip-top spouted food pouches.

Re-Pac Spout Pouches were designed with a simple zip top closure that allows for easy refilling, yet keeps food fresh with its airtight seal. Food can be stored in the freezer, refrigerator, or packed in the lunchbox or purse for midday, on-the-go snacks. And best of all, the easy-to-clean pouches can be thrown in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Enthusiastic fans have already expressed excitement over the food pouches on the company’s Facebook page. Runners, backpackers, hikers, travelers, and (of course) moms are already listing ways they want to use their spout pouches. Smoothies, juices, salad dressings, even travel-sized shampoo & bodywash are among the uses named.

“My sister just had her first baby and I know she's planning on making some of her own baby food,” wrote Facebook fan Charlotte Murray. “These would be so awesome to give her!” 

Re-Pac Spout Pouches are FDA-approved and contain no harmful BPA or phthalates. More information regarding Re-Pac Spout Pouches and the existing line of reusable sandwich and snack bags can be found on the company’s website, www.re-pacbags.com
