Lunchbox snack allergen checker
These are the 33 snacks the planner can put in a lunchbox. Tick an allergy and the list shows what it would still pack β this page runs the same check the planner runs, so the two cannot disagree.
Where the answers come from
For each packaged ingredient I track one Woolworths NZ product, and I read its allergen declaration (βContainsβ) and its precautionary label (βMay containβ) from the product listing each week along with the price. The labels and prices below were read on 29 September 2026.
14 of the 33 snacks are checked against at least one packet label. The other 19 have no allergen declaration on the tracked listing (fresh produce, for example), so I flagged those by hand.
Each snack also shows the regular Woolworths NZ shelf price of its tracked product β not a special or member price β per pack, or per kg or each where it is sold loose. That is the price the planner costs the snack at, and βa serveβ is that price times the share of the pack the planner counts as one lunchbox serve. Prices at other supermarkets, and on special, will differ.
The planner filters on the βContainsβ line only. A βMay containβ warning does not take a snack out of a plan β here those are marked β so you can decide.
Each filter at a glance
| Filter | Still packed | Of those, β may contain | Filtered out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nut-free | 33 of 33 | 2 | 0 |
| Dairy-free | 26 of 33 | 3 | 7 |
| Egg-free | 32 of 33 | 2 | 1 |
| Gluten-free | 31 of 33 | 2 | 2 |
Read the packet anyway.
Labels change when products are reformulated, and the pack in your hand is the one that counts. Precautionary (βmay containβ) labelling is voluntary in New Zealand, so no warning here is not a promise of no cross-contact. This page covers the allergies the planner filters β nut, dairy, egg and gluten β not sesame, soy or anything else.

More on the labels
What the labels on NZ lunchbox staples actually say β including the ones whose names give nothing away β is written up in what the allergen labels actually say.
Every tracked product's label text, with my reading of it next to the raw text, is in allergen-labels.csv (CC BY 4.0).
Each day the planner packs one Fruit & Veg snack and one from the rest of this list; if nothing in a group passes your filters, that slot is left empty. Sweet Treat snacks are not listed because the planner never packs them.
