What’s in new £2.75 Grab Bag lunches for Fife school pupils
New grab bag lunches are being offered to pupils at schools across Fife.
The £2.75 packages let them build a lunch that suits their tastes by choosing from a hot meal or grab-and-go item, one snack, one drink and free veg sticks.
The offer provides a saving of 95p compared with purchasing the items separately.
To make lunchtime quicker and more convenient, Grab Bags must be pre-ordered through the Fusion Online app. Pupils can simply place their order in advance, skip the queue and collect their meal. A range of snacks is also available, including fruit, fruit and yoghurt, mini muffins and popcorn. Drink options include water and a selection of fruit-flavoured choices.
Councillor Cara Hilton, education spokesperson, said: "We know that young people value having more choice over what they eat at lunchtime, and the new Grab Bag promotion is designed to offer exactly that.
"Pupils can mix and match items to create a lunch that suits them, while still benefiting from the high nutritional standards we expect across our school meal service.
"The requirement to pre-order through the Fusion Online app also makes lunchtime more convenient. By ordering ahead, pupils can spend less time waiting in queues and more time enjoying their break with friends.
