Top five tips for a hygienic packed lunch


Experts have warned that children are at risk of taking toxic lunchboxes to school, because parents aren’t taking enough care during their preparation. The following tips are for a hygienically packed lunch



- Clean and disinfect the kitchen work surfaces with antibacterial sprays and wipes. Wipes can be disposed of immediately after use.

- Wash fruit, salad and vegetables thoroughly - especially if they will be eaten raw

- Freshly prepare food each day where possible but if you have to store packed lunches overnight, check labels to ensure you store foods at the right temperature

- Check that your child can store their food somewhere cool until lunchtime or consider using a freezer pack or cool bag to help keep your child's lunch chilled

- Try to get your child into the habit of washing their hands regularly with antibacterial soap, particularly after visiting the toilet and before eating, both at home and at school.
