Supermarket

The kids’ food shop

Per portion, the way children eat it. A 30g bowl of cereal, one pouch, one pot.

How we check for children

The same checks as every Boone page, with limits set for the child eating. Read the methodology

1
Age limits
Every figure is shown against NHS limits for ages 4 to 6, 7 to 10 and 11 and over.
2
Free sugar
We count the sugar the NHS limits apply to, not the total sugar on the label.
3
As served
Kids’ meals are shown as the chain serves them. Supermarket foods per portion.
4
Dated sources
Each chain’s UK nutrition guide and the supermarket’s own data, with the date on every page.

Questions parents ask

Why do children have different limits?

NHS guidance sets lower daily limits for children. A 4 to 6 year old should have no more than 19g of free sugar and 3g of salt a day, rising to 24g and 5g at 7 to 10, and 30g and 6g from 11.

What is free sugar?

Sugar added to food and drink, plus sugar in honey, syrups and fruit juice. It does not include the sugar naturally found in whole fruit or milk. The NHS limits apply to free sugar, so that is what we measure.

Is a kids’ meal a whole meal or one item?

We show what the chain publishes. Happy Meals and set kids’ meals are shown as the full meal. Where a chain lists the main, side and drink separately, each has its own page so you can add them up.

Where do the figures come from?

Each restaurant’s published UK nutrition guide and the supermarket’s own product information, checked by Boone and dated on every page.
