Every Higgidy product in our database broken down by calories, sugar, salt and saturated fat, and checked against NHS daily reference intakes for children aged 4 to 17.
Ready meals are judged on salt first. A single meal can carry most of an adult's 6g daily salt limit, and children's limits are considerably lower. Saturated fat and portion weight are the next figures that matter.
Creamy and cheese-based sauces sit far above tomato-based ones on saturated fat. Cured meats and stock-heavy recipes drive salt. Portion weight varies widely between ranges, so per-pack figures diverge more than per-100g ones.
Check whether the pack is one portion or two. Packs labelled as serving two are routinely eaten by one person.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
