A poll, of 1,300 office workers, found 64% will purchase a shop bought lunch at least once per week - with one in five rarely, or never, preparing lunch at home. Consequently, they consume 62 wraps, 61 pasta pots, and even 50 packets of sushi when working from the office. Over half (53%) find it more convenient, 32% lack the time to prepare a lunch at home - and 22% are too exhausted to cook something for the next day after a shift.
Despite this, 80% claim that having a healthy lunch during their workday is crucial to them, yet 91% of workers don't always scrutinise the ingredients list on the items they purchase. Of these, more than four in 10 (43%) are in too much of a hurry to check, and 23% ignore it because it's not always displayed directly on the packet. George Taylor, founder and CEO of the meal delivery firm , stated: "With today's demanding job roles and time constraints, we've all been guilty of getting the easy option at lunch.
" "But the reality is many of these on-the-go-products can be packed full of chemicals, artificial ingredients and stuff that the body is just simply not designed to consume - and its compromising our health." "We want to inspire busy people to eat well, live better, and thrive by delivering high-quality, chef-prepared meals packed with nutrition while still being incredibly tasty." It also emerged that 80% of people find it challenging to understand the ingredients in on-the-go lunches.
