Guess what packed lunch item got confiscated and handed to me at the end of the day?

DD aged 8 almost 9 (end of July), Year 4. Has SN incase it's relevant.

Packed lunch of:

Leftover Chicken in a white roll
2 finger kitkat
Sliced up grapes
Cucumber Sticks
Babybel
Carton of juice
Dip Pot of ketchup (for the sandwich)

Usually school don’t take items off children because the HT says she used to send her own DC to primary school with packed lunches and she hated having stuff taken from their lunch boxes – it’s a mainstream LA primary but higher than average number of SN/EHCPs according to most recent ofsted (December 22) so they’re generally understanding about fussiness/SN issues. DD has only once before had something confiscated.

So what did the lunch staff take issue with from DDs lunch?

I'm going to go with the 'white roll', it should have been wholemeal or sourdough.

Juice

If it was warm I dare say the chicken was obvious choice due to risk of food poisoning assuming it wasn't refrigerated.

RudsyFarmer · 19/06/2023 18:03

I’m going to say juice.

FlounderingFruitcake · 19/06/2023 18:03

Probably the juice because water only policies are really common

What Lochroy said

HalfwomanHalfcookie · 19/06/2023 18:03

Dunno but I hope it's Babybel.
That bloody wax coating ends up on the floor and sticks like glue. It has to be scraped off with a knife!
School cleaner 🙂

Also, is the confiscated item the prize for guessing correctly 😀

Northernsoullover · 19/06/2023 18:03

Did you have an ice pack with the chicken? If not I can see why.

Cherrysherbet · 19/06/2023 18:04

Juice

Juice

NewmummyJ · 19/06/2023 18:04

The chicken

AnythingMuppetTM · 19/06/2023 18:05

Juice because all the schools around our way have a water as the only drink policy.

BitOutOfPractice · 19/06/2023 18:05

Is anyone else too grumpy for yet another mn boring guessing game today? Just say ffs.

WhatWasGoneFromTheBox · 19/06/2023 18:06

It was the roll with the chicken still in it

Because of too much salt in the rest of the lunch

Its too hot and just not a fun game.

PoppyPansyCampion · 19/06/2023 18:07

I'm going for white roll

MumUndone · 19/06/2023 18:07

Food police.

Neverinamonthofsundays · 19/06/2023 18:07

You mean sugar surely? Theres a lot of sugar in a white bread roll as is in fact most of his lunch. Im not seeing salt.

Crikeyalmightey · 19/06/2023 18:07

Ffs. That's outrageous.

GottaGirlcrush · 19/06/2023 18:09

Christ I'm glad I'm past the school years stage!

Hats off to you younger mums, I don't know how you keep up with it all....or keep your cool!

Andanotherone01 · 19/06/2023 18:09

Sorry but I don’t believe that. The school aren’t going to take away the substantive part of a packed lunch!
