Free rein of the cupboards?

From what age have you given your DC free rein of the fridge and food cupboards?
And if they are allowed to help themselves, does it come with any caveats, especially now when everyone's home all the time and visits to shops are less frequent?
Mine can help themselves to the fruit bowl but nothing from the fridge or cupboards, but only because they're still quite young (6 and 9). I don't think it's occurred to them that they could sort themselves out from those places yet.

Mine are older so have the self control to not eat loads but I saw Emily Norris on YouTube and what she has done for her kids is made bags for each day with fruit snack bar etc for each child where they can reach it and the kids know that is the allocated amount for that day

Thought it was a great idea for those with younger dcs
