Lunch time at school is a chance for our children to have a break, socialise and recharge, but hazards like junk food, toxic food containers and bacteria can make the lunch box and its content unsafe for children. Recent research shows that 82% of lunchboxes contain foods high in saturated fat, salt and sugar. Many food containers and drink bottles used by children in British schools contain Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical that has been banned in several countries due to health risks. Another potential danger with lunch boxes is the bacteria that can grow in food when it is left unrefrigerated for extended period of times. However, these ‘dangers’ can easily be avoided by making a few changes to how we pack our children’s lunches.
