Phunky Foods is a food industry initiative which is ostensibly intended to teach kids about food. It is a programme of Purely Nutrition.

According to its website:

PhunkyFoods is a comprehensive programme to teach primary school children key healthy eating and physical activity messages through art, drama, music, play and hands on food experience. The 5 year programme was designed by health professionals and comes with all resources and training needed to run the programme in schools. All this for as little as £20 per month.

Phunky Foods discloses on its own website that it is an initiative of Northern Foods 'working in partnership' with the Cargill/Frontier and Nestle.
