How many tins, jars and packs?

How it works

Your household's daily energy comes from SupKit's figures for each age band, the same as the app. The calculator takes the share you choose and divides it by the energy in one pack, rounding up.

Energy per pack comes from SupKit's catalogue estimates. SupKit estimate

Allergies, dietary needs and children

Plan around everyone at home: allergies, intolerances and diets come first, and familiar food matters most for children. Recipes vary between brands, so always read the label of the product you buy.

• Irish (EU) law names 14 allergens: gluten cereals, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, tree nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin and molluscs.²
• On packaged food, allergens must stand out in the ingredient list, for example through font, style or background colour.³
• For unpackaged food, allergen information must be in writing and easy to find before you buy.²
• 'May contain' warnings are optional, used only where cross-contamination can't be ruled out, and can't replace good manufacturing practice.³

Young children

• Don't give whole nuts to children under five; crush or grind nuts, and spread nut butter thinly.⁴
• Don't give honey to babies under 12 months, and don't add salt to a baby's food.⁵
