Change4Life Nutrition 2018

Children in England are eating nearly three times the recommended amount of sugar, which is bad for their health. Surprisingly, half the sugar they consume comes from snacks and sugary drinks. To help families choose healthier snacks and reduce sugar intake, Change4Life recommends that parents 'look for 100 calorie snacks, two a day max.'

For money-off vouchers for healthier snacks and helpful tips and ideas, sign up to the Change4Life website.

You can download a free Change4Life 'Food Scanner' app from the iTunes store or Google Play to help bring labels to life and see just how much sugar, salt and saturated fat is inside everyday snacks, foods and drinks. A Change4Life roadshow will visit shopping centres and supermarkets nationwide to show you how to use the app, as well as teaching you how to read the colour coded food labelling on the front of packaging to help you make healthier choices.
