Mixed methods analysis reveals parents' factors influencing food choices in children's lunches, highlighting the need for improved nutrition guidance.

Key Points

Seventy-eight percent of parents considered nutritional information while packing lunchboxes, with significant reliance on food labelling and nutrition guides.
Parents demonstrated confidence in preparing healthy lunchboxes, focusing on fresh foods and high fiber, despite barriers related to children's preferences.
Thematic analysis identified key challenges in decision-making, including balancing nutrition, cost, and information overload when choosing food.
Accessible guidance on healthy lunchbox preparation is vital to address these challenges and improve food knowledge among parents.
