Choosing for Kids' Snacks

Koala's March is a kids' favorite, but here are some points to keep in mind.

Recommended Age

Generally from about 2 years old. The biscuits are small and relatively soft, but make sure your child can chew properly before offering.

Allergen Info

Koala's March contains wheat, dairy, and soy. If your child has allergies, always check the ingredient label on the back of the package.

Portion Size

One regular box (50g) is about 270 kcal. Adjust portions based on your child's age and activity level. The family pack with individual wrapping makes portion control easier.

Storage Tips for HCMC

HCMC is hot and humid year-round. Chocolate snacks don't do well in the heat:

• Refrigerate right after delivery to prevent melting
• Biscuits may feel hard straight from the fridge; leave at room temperature for 5 minutes to restore crunchiness
• After opening, store in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 2-3 days
• Never leave in direct sunlight or inside a car

Summary
