Products Suitable for Children and Adolescents

These products are ideal for children and adolescents, so they are suitable for sale in the school tuckshop.  The following list of products have been assessed by Nutrition Australia dietitians according to Nutrition Australia's Food Selection Guidelines for Children and Adolescents.  As the Australian Nutrition Foundation, Nutrition Australia first developed the concept of Food Selection Guidelines for school tuckshops in 1989.  Since then these food based guidelines have provided a useful mechanism to identify products that are suitable for children and adolescents, which are lower in fat, sugar, and sodium, and are higher in calcium.
