"Whether it's for the school run, sports club, or weekend outings, Whaoo! has families covered with snacks that parents trust, and kids love.'
This comes after a major supermarket began selling viral "angel hair" chocolate, which left some shoppers disgusted.
Mum's Viral Lunchboxes for 11 Kids: Netizens React!
The Viele Angel Hair Strawberry Flavour Chocolate is now available at Morrisons, and the unusual looking snack is dividing customers.
The pink Turkish chocolate bar is filled with pistachio cream and green cotton candy, with the inside resembling human hair.
Morrisons posted a video of the new product to its Instagram page this week, writing: "The viral Angel Hair chocolate bar has officially landed in stores... have you tried it yet?"
But many customers appeared to be revolted by the sweet treat, with one responding: "Eww are you meant to eat that?"
What the NHS recommends children have for lunch:
The NHS gives a number of suggestions and guidelines on their Chnage4Life website.
Base the lunchbox on foods like bread, rice, pasta and potatoes - wholegrain ideally - too keep kids fuller for longer
If your child isn't keen on wholegrain, try making sandwiches with one slice of white and one slice of wholemeal bread
Try to keep lunchboxes interesting by using a variety of shapes like bagels, pittas and wraps
Make food fun as lunches can be more exciting if the child has to put them together, like having foods for dipping and makes a change from sandwiches every day.
Opt for low fat foods, like lean meats or fish.
Cut down on the amount of spreads you put into sandwiches
Always add a bit of salad and vegetables to the meal
Cut down on the crisps
Chop up some fruit or peal satsuamas and add those instead of sweets
Cheese can be high in fat and salt so pick strong tasting ones or go for low-fat varieties
Get the kids involved in making the lunch - they'll be more likely to eat it if they helped make it
Another said it looked "vile", while one shopper asked: "Is that supposed to be edible? It looks awful?"
The Sun recently revealed Cadbury is launching a new Dairy Milk Iced Latte bar this summer.
The new bar blends its classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces.
The chocolate brand is also introducing four limited-edition Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars, complete with unique packaging designed for the 53% of Brits who, according to the brand's survey, enjoy their chocolate chilled.
This packaging changes its appearance when cooled, thanks to special thermochromic technology, revealing bright, summery designs.
The new chocolate bars will hit the shelves this month and will be available throughout the summer period for £2 a piece.

As Trump threatens to join the Israel-Iran conflict, what are Keir Starmer's options?
The choice Keir Starmer makes in the next 48 hours could define his premiership. Tony Blair never escaped the accusation he had been George Bush 's 'poodle' over the invasion of Iraq. And how far the current Labour PM goes in backing another US president in another foreign conflict could help or haunt him for years to come. Sir Keir has urged Donald Trump to step back from the brink of a direct strike on Iran, warning against any action that would 'ramp up the situation'. The PM's official spokesman said ' de-escalation is the priority ' after the US president threatened to wade into the conflict. But, if that did happen, how could the UK respond? One option – albeit the most diplomatically tricky – is to withhold support entirely. Sir Keir has spent months trying to build a special relationship with President Trump. Anything less than support for their actions is likely to go down badly with the current White House regime. However, the Attorney General Lord Hermer, a close political ally of Sir Keir, is reported to have raised legal concerns about any potential British involvement in the conflict beyond defending its allies. Lord Hermer is reportedly reluctant to sign off any offensive operations, with a source telling The Spectator: 'The AG has concerns about the UK playing any role in this except for defending our allies.' The weight the Labour leader places on his old friend's legal judgement could limit the extent of any support for the US, if Mr Trump does decide to act militarily. The PM's own background will also play a role in the decision. The energy minister Miatta Fahnbulleh said on Thursday that he 'who is a lawyer and a human rights lawyer, he will obviously do everything that is in accord with international law.' But will he really risk infuriating President Trump at a time when the Republican's tariffs on goods entering the US have already led economists to downgrade their forecasts for the UK economy? Another option, considered the most likely, is to allow the use of the UK-US airbase at Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands. The type of B-2 stealth bombers which are often based there are the ones that are capable of carrying specialised 'bunker buster' bombs, which could be used against Iran 's underground nuclear facility at Fordo. This is a middle ground seen as the most likely option for the UK government to back. It would not require action from the UK, but could protect the relationship with the US by seeming to offer support. He is already under pressure over the issue at home. Shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti Patel has said the UK should give permission for the US to use Diego Garcia to launch bunker-buster bombs. One step beyond the Diego Garcia option is to provide logistical support to the US, and what that would look like in practice is being wargamed in Whitehall. The benefit of this option is that it would allow the UK to appear to be more supportive of Present Trump than just simply allowing him to use a US airbase, and at the same time risking only a limited response from Iran. The UK is keen not to allow Tehran a pretext to strike British bases or interests and has sent extra assets to the region, with another six Typhoon jets sent to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, joining the eight already there. The final option, considered the least likely, is full UK military intervention. Britain is still pushing hard behind the scenes for a de-escalation in the Middle East. The UK's most favoured outcome is a diplomatic solution, in which both sides dial down the aggression. Keir Starmer is also, as a politician, a gradualist and as such is considered less likely than some of his predecessors as prime minister to commit the UK military to support this kind of intervention, even if it is in the aid of one of our key allies, the United States.

Scotland refuses to match Labour's ‘damaging' welfare cuts
The Scottish government announced it will not mirror the planned changes to welfare disability benefits proposed by Labour. The cost-cutting measures are largely focused on the Personal Independence Payment (PIP), designed to help with extra costs incurred by living with an illness or disability. The equivalent in Scotland is the Adult Disability Payment (ADP), and the administration of which is devolved to the Scottish government. Holyrood's social justice secretary, Shirley-Anne Somerville, confirmed the decision in an official announcement, criticising the UK government for the plans. Ms Somerville said: 'The UK government's proposed reforms will be hugely damaging to those who rely on social security support, particularly during the ongoing cost of living crisis. These plans have yet to be passed at Westminster, so there is still time for the UK government to step back from this damaging policy and I strongly urge them to scrap their harmful proposals. 'The reforms do not reflect the Scottish government's values. We will not let disabled people down or cast them aside as the UK government has done. We will not cut Scotland's Adult Disability Payment. 'The UK government should follow our lead and protect the social security safety system, rather than dismantling it. If they do not, then disabled people can draw no other conclusion than the UK government remain content to balance the books on the backs of the most vulnerable.' Ms Somerville highlighted findings by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) that the changes are set to push 250,000 more people into poverty, including 50,000 children. The MSP for Dunfermline claimed this threatens to undermine work to reduce child poverty, pointing also to Labour's refusal to scrap the two-child benefit cap. Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall presented the welfare bill on Wednesday, which MPs are set to vote on next month - but are currently divided. Ms Kendall defended the reforms - aimed at encouraging more people off sickness benefits and into work - saying they were necessary as the 'social security system is at a crossroads'. She said: 'Unless we reform it, more people will be denied opportunities, and it may not be there for those who need it. "This legislation represents a new social contract and marks the moment we take the road of compassion, opportunity and dignity.' While Scotland is able to decide how to administer the ADP, the measures in the bill regarding Universal Credit are still liable to impact Scottish nationals, as this benefit is managed centrally. From April 2026, the payment rate for the health element of Universal Credit will be frozen. Those already receiving it will remain on £423.27 a month until 2029/30. However, new applicants after this month will receive a severely cut rate of £217.26 – almost half. The controversial proposals have drawn widespread criticism from charities and campaign groups. More than 100 Labour MPs are reportedly considering voting against the government on the plans as the government faces a significant rebellion.

Pregnant Morning Live star Michelle Ackerley reveals ‘miracle baby's' gender after fertility struggle
PREGNANT Morning Live star Michelle Ackerley has revealed the gender of her unborn baby. The TV host, 40, announced her pregnancy live on air last month when she was presenting alongside Gethin Jones. 4 Sharing more details about her pregnancy, Michelle told Hello!: "I'm expecting a little girl in October and it feels very special. "When I found out I was pregnant, I told my husband, and he said this is a baby miracle." Michelle married husband Ben Ryan, 53, last summer. She previously praised her hubby, who is performance director at Premier League side Brentford FC, for his calm approach to becoming a first time dad. "He has been so chilled," said Michelle. "The thing is, I'm not really sleeping well at the moment so I've been waking up in the middle of the night at 3am and I've been taking it upon myself to wake Ben up and say this is what we are going to have to get used to!" The One Show and World's Strongest Man presenter has also been open about her fertility woes and struggles with endometriosis. The chronic condition sees tissues similar to the lining of the womb grow on the outside of it causing inflammation and pain. She said: "I wanted to share though as my journey with endometriosis and infertility is something I finally felt confident to start speaking about more openly last year - realising how many other women were going through similar experiences. "Feeling part of a community - especially when it comes to women's health can really make a difference. Inside Morning Live's Michelle Ackerley's rise to fame - and her TV presenter mum who helped catapult her into a household name "Even at the very start of this year I was gearing up for yet another endo procedure and trying to come to terms with the mental & physical impact they can have. "It has been quite the emotional rollercoaster. "The news of falling pregnant really came as a massive surprise to both of us. We still can't quite believe it. "And so in October, the start of a new chapter begins for @benryan7s and I, albeit with nervous and cautious excitement." Ben and Michelle - who have a ten year age gap - had been dating for years before they got engaged in 2023. Former rugby star Ben used to coach the Fiji National rugby team - helping them scoop a gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
