NHS FOOD SWAP APP

THIS app allows parents to scan the barcodes of supermarket foods to find healthier alternatives. For example, instead of Pizza Express Classic American Pepperoni Pizza, which has 4.9g saturated fat and 1g salt per 100g, it suggests Pizza Express Classic Fiorentina (2.8g sat fat and 0.7g salt per 100g). It comes off the back of research that shows 60 per cent of parents are giving their children more sugary or fatty snacks than they did before the pandemic.
