Ninety-nine out of every 100 packed lunches being eaten by primary school children are reported to be unhealthy and failing to meet nutritional standards.

    So what should a healthy lunch contain and what foods should be left out?

    According to advice from the Food Standards Agency,a healthy packed lunch should include:

    ? Meat, fish or a dairy source of protein

    ? Starchy carbohydrate, such as a wholegrain sandwich, to provide energy

    ? At least one portion each of a fruit and vegetable or salad

    ? Water or milk to drink, but diluted fruit juice and yoghurt drinks or smoothies are acceptable

    The key foods to avoid are:

    ? Sweets and chocolate

    ? Snacks, like crisps, with added salt/sugar/fat

    ? Sugary and fizzy drinks

    ? Deep-fried foods and processed meats

    ? White bread - if children won't eat brown, try whole white sliced bread

    Nutritional standards for school meals were introduced in 2006 and standards for vending machines, breakfast clubs and tuck shops came into force a year later.

    In 2008, strict nutrition content guidelines for primary schools were introduced and extended to secondary schools in September 2009.
