How many cans, 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.

• US law names nine major food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame (sesame added from 2023).²
• Labels must name each major allergen's source, either in brackets in the ingredient list or in a 'Contains' statement next to it.²
• 'May contain' warnings are voluntary in the US, so not every maker uses them and their absence is not a guarantee.³

Young children

• The CDC lists whole or chopped nuts and seeds, and spoonfuls of nut butter, as choking hazards for young children.⁴
• Do not give honey to children under 12 months; it can cause infant botulism.⁵
• Avoid salty foods such as canned foods and processed meats for young children.⁵
