KIDS' LUNCHBOX SNACKS: HIGHER-FIBRE ALTERNATIVES TO CRISPS

A higher-fibre lunchbox swap is a single-serve, HFSS-compliant snack with a short ingredient list. NuPop packs are 30g, 136-137 kcal, contain 5.7-5.9g of fibre and have 8-10 ingredients.

WHAT MAKES A LUNCHBOX SWAP WORK

Lunchbox snacks have to survive a school bag, be eaten quickly and be recognisable enough that a child will actually eat them. A swap that comes home uneaten is not a swap.

Fibre intake in children is below recommendations across most UK age groups, so lunchbox choices are a straightforward place to add some.

Single-serve packs remove the portioning decision at 7am, and HFSS-compliant products are the ones that meet UK rules on high fat, salt and sugar promotions.
