The start of the new school term can be a testing time for any parent who needs to find a filling, healthy alternative to add to the packed lunch box.

And finding something the kids will like has been made just a little easier with the help of Chedds!

With all the smooth, mild flavour of Cathedral City, Chedds is tasty and nutritious and the perfect snack for growing children.

Made from 100% real Cheddar, Chedds is a great source of calcium with each mini pack containing at least 24% of the Reference Nutrient Intake?? (RNI) for children aged 7-10 years.

Chedds is available in three fun formats that kids will love to eat: -

Cheese and Toasties - mini slices of real Cheddar and melba toast
Nibbles - a mini bag of bite sized cubes that kids will love to share
Bricks - mini blocks of Cheddar that are perfect for kids on the go

All three variants come in a multi pack format and are individually wrapped, making it easy for mum to pop into a lunch box, ensuring that kids can enjoy the great taste and goodness of Chedds every day of the week.

As well as tasting great, kids will also love the playfulness of Chedds. On each pack is the cheeky Chedds mouse and a fun fact or joke that children can impress their friends with at lunchtime.

It is essential for children's growth that they have a varied and balanced diet; however, it's important to keep them excited by what they eat. Cheddar is a great source of calcium and protein to keep bones strong and healthy and the lunchbox snacking format makes Chedds fun, as well as tasty and nutritious.
