Kids often want packaged foods they see on TV, online, or in their friends’ lunches. Be aware of foods marketed to kids and ongoing new products on the shelf. Store bought lunch kits can be high in sodium (salt), sugars and/or saturated fat and are usually low in fibre and other nutrients.

Try a reusable container with sections to make your own lunch kits. Kids like finger foods, so cut sandwiches, wraps or other foods into smaller pieces. Add raw veggies or fruits to complete the kit.
