The main aim of the leaflet is to help parents, carers and children make healthy choices about what to put in packed lunches. The leaflet can be customised to include different food types that reflect your school community’s dietary profile and food policy.
The leaflet explains the important elements in a healthy packed lunch and the part they play in a healthy diet:
- The four food groups
- Drinks
- Restricted foods
The leaflet also provides tips on how to make a healthier lunchbox and food safety information.
How to publish your leaflet
Leaflets consist of set pieces of text which you can choose from to reflect the policies and demographic of your school. Once you have chosen all the relevant text, you will be able to download the leaflet and print it (on both sides of an A4 sheet to produce an A5 folded leaflet). The leaflet will also be available to download in a number of different languages.
