Most kids’ lunchboxes in England are unhealthy with fewer than two in 100 meeting the government’s nutritional standards, new research suggests.
Only one in five contained any vegetables or salad, a study by the University of Leeds found.
Three lunches didn’t meet any of the standards, for things like energy and vitamins, for school food in England.
These contained squash, crisps, a chocolate bar or roll and in once case, a pasty.
