The smokin’ corn was a real hit with the kids! It was yummy and not too crunchy. The flavours of popcorn were a real hit and great portion sizes.. the apples and sultanas were a good little addition for that ‘something sweet’ in the afternoon... all in all, tasty little snacks. We would highly recommend all the products we reviewed!

So the opinions have come back (from adults and kids) on the taste of the air popped corn. There were 3 flavors included in the $5.99 10 pack: sea salt, cheesy and sweet and salty. The clear winner was: sea salt! Here is a summary of how the flavours stacked up.
1) Sea Salt - favorite among the kids and adults of the household; a clear winner; reminded us all of freshly made popcorn sizzling in the skillet!
2) Cheesy - it was a winner with the kids but the adults felt it tasted a bit "artificial"; reminiscent of heavily processed products from the 1980s
3) Sweet and salt - this was described by the kids as "odd" and "at first ok but then not". The adults found that it reminded them of the sticky popcorn covered in caramel, but it wasn't sticky! Then the salt kicked in and it was "really confusing"... then the sweetness overpowered everything once again and you could finish the portion!. This was the least favourite - especially for the kids - so it was a shame there were 4 packs of this one and 3 of the others.

We have family movie night on a Saturday with our 2 and 4 year olds. I always buy this popcorn as a movie snack as I know it's healthy and the kids love the flavours. We also have a stash of sultanas and apples in the pantry as they make a great snack for around the house or on the run. Great products!

My son loves the contents of these little boxes. Only $1.95 for a pack of six, they were a tasty addition to his lunch bag. The dried apples added some variation in texture and taste to a popular sultana snack.

I buy these as a healthy snack instead of chips and crackers. The air popped popcorn come in 3 different but equally yummy flavours and are the perfect size for packed lunches. You never get bored with these. I sometimes nibble on them in the evening too while watching TV. One of my fave snacks now!

These were great for the lunchbox snacks and were great individual sizes too. My son didn't like the Smoky corn or the chickpeas though. He said his favourite was the sultana and Apple boxes. I would buy these again for when I'm running out of ideas for the lunch box but would probably stick with fresh fruit when possible.

Loved the popcorn- a great healthy snack for those in between meal times. Sea salt was the clear favourite! Sultanas and apples also yummy, gives good variety rather than just sultanas in a pack, and the price was good too!!

The apple and sultana snacks were a huge hit not only in the lunch boxes but also as a small snack for the crazy time when they're "starving" while dinner is cooking.
Will definitely be buying these again.
The air popped corn was also a hit but weren't too keen on the cheese flavour.
Kids wern't a huge fan of the crunchy lunchbox snacks but they were a huge hit with the husband and have already had to restock!
All in all the kids loves having something new in the lunchbox and will definitely be purchasing these products again!

I would recommend the Woolworths Crunchy lunchbox snacks, dried fruit and the Air popped corn. However my daughter loved two for the flavours of the air popped corn but disliked the cheese flavour. The dried fruit is so convenient and great tasting also. Will definitely be buying these items from now on.

My children were so excited to take woolworths Air popped corn to school in their lunchboxes this week. They are convenient and taste great. They have dairy allergy so the cheese flavour was no good, but the toddler and I took one for the team and ate that flavour ourselves ???? The Woolworths dried fruit is also a hit and makes a lovely messfree afterschool snack before dancing. We will be purchasing these products again :)

I had difficulty locating these products at my local woolworths in epsom and was unable to purchase sultanas and apples snack packs as they were unavailable. What I was able to purchase my two boys aged 12 and 14 did not like, although they did eat popcorn but asked me not to purchase again. Macro smokin corn they said were disgusting.

Apple and sultana packs are great! We loose interest when just all sultanas, so was really impressed when there was a good balance of apple in there also! These will be a regular staple in our pantry now.. the popcorn, have only tried the cheese so far.. the smell is a bit off putting but they taste quite morish.. the chick peas and corn packs are great for an adult, but too hard for them to become a staple in miss 2s lunchbox

These were definitely not a hit with my 2 and 4 year olds. The bbq seasoning was a touch spicy for them, the dried vegetables were rock hard and both of my children thew them on the ground.
My husband and I both tried these and neither of us would ever buy them again.
For the super health conscious I'm sure these are great, but for taste and flavour we'd rather spend our money elsewhere.
They may pass the school lunch box test but if the children won't eat them then what's the point.

I felt for sure this was going to be a real winner, my children love apples and they love sultanas. This pack was $1.95 for 6 boxes.
Unfortunately the sultanas were a success but both of my children picked the apple out and it was wasted (if anyone knows what to do with a whole heap of dried apple please let me know).
I'm going to stick with buying plain boxes of sultanas because the apple was wasted on my kids

Article
‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About
Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.
Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.
Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.
“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”
Even then, it’s not ideal.
“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”
A New Loaf On The Block
Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.
It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.
“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”
Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”
“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”
The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved
Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.
“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”
Bec says she was impressed too.
“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”
A Simpler Option For Everyday Families
Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.
“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”
It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.
Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.
JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.
Little Changes, Big Difference
For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.
“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”
Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.
And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.
JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. JUST. The Good Stuff.
It’s at a good price point for families on a tight budget and is “cleaner” but missing the mark with Canola oil . I wouldn’t be running to a supermarket for it but it’s alot better than other varieties on the market. It’s nice to see supermarkets are at least trying and listening
Most breads are dairy free anyway so I am surprised by this article. Additive free is a bonus. I always go for a grain bread nowadays and have the kids eating it too so I’ll be sticking with that. It’s always great to have variety out there though for the ones that need it.
We bought this bread from the supermarket and it is a good price for bread which of course can indeed be expensive. Each slice is a good size and our favourite meal to create and eat with this bread is cheese toasties. The bread holds and is good to eat.
I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.
I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.
This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo
I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.
I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it
Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!
This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
