ome companies just provide free tea and coffee.
Some provide treats, fruit, snacks and drinks.
Some provide cheap canteens.
Some provide free food.
Some provide food vouchers so you can buy your own meals.
In all these cases they are providing a subsidy to reduce the cost to you as an employee. In the UK I don't know if this has a tax implication as a 'benefit in kind' which may give rise to an additional tax liability like the provision of a company car.

"auxilios para estudios para los hijos" could be "child schooling subsidies/support"

: In the case of construction workes, this is best. Food allowance sounds more what you would grant to an executive on a business trip.
