Nut-free lunchbox ideas for kids

Lots of schools and childcare centres are nut-free, so every main on this page is written without nuts or nut butters. Pair one with a fruit and a veg side and the box is done. Packaged foods like crackers and sauces can still carry nut warnings, so check labels and your school's rules.

Want a whole week planned? Tick the foods your child eats in the lunchbox planner.
