or have the school gone bonkers?

[ohballs2013]

got a letter last night, in the new teacher info pack.
the school have said that as of the new school term a few more items have been added to the not allowed in lunch box list.
we already had the normal,
no nuts
no fizzy drinks
no bars of chocolate

now we also have

no bananas
no berry fruit, including anything containing berry fruit, such as smoothies, youghurts, cereal bars etc
no fish
no eggs
no crisps
no citrus fruits
no peices of meat, ie chicken legs.

now i get that you have to protect as many kids with allergies as possible..but WTF. is it not going a bit mad?
my own child has coeliacs, so i know all about limited diets, but im astonished at this.

yes, steppe, that is true. I think it highlights that lunch supervision is critical, lunch supervisors need to be watching in the way that a parent would, so children eat up their veg and don't have unhealthy combinations.

Point them here www.anaphylaxis.org.uk/schools/help-for-schools that list sounds very unrealistic for people to manage.
