Lunchbox nutrition has become increasingly important to manufacturers seeking to tap into the health and wellness trend.

After launching Messy Monkeys wholegrain bites, Freedom Foods was recognised as a finalist in the children’s nutrition range at the recent World Food Innovation Awards, and the company has now launched its own light-to-eat popcorn range.

The popcorn comes in a 10-pack, which has a RRP of $5.00, and comes in flavours of Lightly Salted and Lightly Sweet and Salty. 

The gluten- and nut-free snacks are school-safe, and designed to be eaten on-the-go.
