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.
