Tesco Kids Lunchbox

The Tesco NEW Lunchbox Selection Tool.

Tesco've designed this interactive tool to help you understand how you can use Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) to make healthy living choices.

All you need to do to start is to select one of the four tabs at the top of the page to choose the type of food you'd like to add. 'Make a Sandwich' contains ingredients needed to create a sandwich such as bread, ham & salad. Once you have selected the tab, you need to drag and drop items from the section into 'Your Lunchbox'

As you drop items into 'Your Lunchbox' the Guideline Daily Amount calculator will add up the amount of Calories, Sugar, Fat, Saturates and Salt contained within your current lunchbox. The calculation is based on the portions stated, such as 2 slices of bread or half a can of tuna.

Whether you are choosing items for a child's lunchbox or your own, you can choose the items for your lunch and then switch between the Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) for Adults or Children by selecting the relevant box under the Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) results. You can find out more about Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) by selecting the 'GDA Info' tab.

Once you are happy with the lunchbox you have created, you can select 'Buy Your Lunchbox' to view the list of products needed and buy them directly from the Groceries website.
