Ready single-serve options
Céréal Buoni Senza chocolate chip biscuits and the Schär Chocolix bar are individually wrapped: handy to toss in a backpack with no need to divide or wrap them at home.
The savory alternative
Céréal crisp slices can be prepped the night before with a thin layer of cream cheese and kept in an airtight container for the next day.
Practical tips for the lunchbox
Choose products in their original sealed package whenever possible, to avoid a child mixing them up with a classmate's. If you prepare something at home, use a dedicated container, washed separately from anything used for gluten-containing food.
Talking to the school
Even when the snack comes from home, it's useful to inform teachers about the child's celiac disease, to manage any spontaneous food-sharing between classmates during break time.
