Minced beef in a delicious tomato sauce with egg pasta topped with a yummy three cheese sauce. 'I use British beef and three cheeses - parmesan, mascarpone and gruyere. My beef lasagne is a source of zinc, which is important for growth, healthy skin and the immune system - the body's natural defences.'

No added colours, flavourings or preservatives. Annabel Karmel beef lasagne: 2/5
Nutritionist's verdict: This portion contains only a meagre 19 per cent beef, so it is inevitably going to be low in iron. A homemade lasagne would normally have about 40-50 per cent beef.

Sugar is added in three forms, according to the ingredients list: 'sugar', 'fruit juice concentrate' and 'barley malt extract', which is not necessary in a savoury dish, and adds unnecessary sugar (the company has pledged to remove sugar from its Eat Fussy range over the next three months).

Salt is also added, and at 1g per portion (a third of the daily allowance for a child of four to six), the overall salt content is high. If a dish contains cheese there is no need to add salt because cheese is preserved with salt.

Proudly contains 5.1mg of zinc per meal, and this is a good level. Kid's view: It tastes too much like tomato ketchup. it is a bit like my mum's, which is very good.

Annabel Karmel's Eat Fussy salmon + cod pie
 Annabel Karmel salmon & cod pie: 2/5
Promise: Perfect pieces of salmon and cod in a white sauce, topped with fresh mashed potato.

Salmon contains beneficial omega 3 fatty acids, and this fish pie helps provide one of the two portions of oily fish that the Government recommends you eat each week.

Nutritionist's verdict: Despite the claims, the fish content is quite low at 16 per cent, so the dish won't be particularly high in key nutrients. Only half of that (8 per cent) is salmon.

The other half is cod, which doesn't contain omega 3, so the quantity of omega 3 fats provided will be very low.

A home-made fish and potato pie would contain about 40 per cent fish and would be higher in omega 3 than this product.

Once more, salt appears to be an added ingredient and bumps up the total salt content to 0.9g. This is unnecessary because cheese is an ingredient, too.

Kid's view: It's a bit lemony, but the potato

is lovely and cheesy. I'd like even more cheese on top.
