In India, nearly three hundred million children are under the age of 15. School age period is nutritionally significant. During this age micronutrient deficiencies, such as those of iron, iodine and vitamin A are common. Malnutrition can interfere with school performance; impair body function, working ability and physical growth. Snacks form an integral part of diet of school children. Children need to eat every four to six hours to maintain a blood glucose level high enough to support mental and physical activities. However, the type and amount of snacks consumed can be a source of concern as during this period the likes and dislikes of children become stronger and there is a strong influence of environmental and psychological factors on their choice. Popular snacks among youngsters are high in fat, sugar, energy and some are also high in salt which are of little nutritional value.
