Staffroom treats

[SingaporeSlinky]

Thinking slightly ahead, I’m planning on buying some of the nice gold metal tins of Quality Street to send in for my dc’s primary school around mid December. It’s just occurred to me that some of the chocs inside contain nuts, and it’s a nut free school. Do you think they’d allow it? I obviously want the staff to enjoy the little treat, so if the consensus is that they’d have to decline or regift them, I’d rather have a plan B. Thanks in advance.

There aren’t any nuts in Cadbury’s Heroes if you’re worried.

Ooh thank you, assumed all the Christmas tins had some nutty ones in them.
Do you think it would be a problem with Quality Street? Only asking as the tins are bigger and look a bit nicer. Don’t know how it works in terms of allowing staff to have them (either in staff room, or to take home).

I don’t know, we’re not a nut-free school but honestly, school staff will gratefully hoover up whatever you give, regardless of the tin!

Thanks. Just had a quick google and looks like Heroes have recently added Dinky Deckers which conation nuts.

*contain nuts

Hmm it’s a ‘may contain nuts’ not a listed ingredient. How strict are they with lunch boxes?

We get fairly regular reminders that it’s a nut free school, particularly before bake sales etc. I would hope as the chocs would be for the staffroom, any staff with allergies would obviously be aware of what they can and can’t eat. I just don’t want them to be turned away, but can’t think what else to send in. At the end of summer term I’ve sent in lots of multipacks of chocolate bars before, but for December, the tins seem the best option.

Oh shit. This has just reminded me that there is an opened box of Celebrations in my cupboard. We have a very allergic staff member. I forget all the time.

We’ve been told that anything stating ‘may contain nuts’ is fine. Maybe I’ll go for the Heroes then if that’s all they say.

Our school confiscated tins of chocs from parents last year for staff room that contained nuts 😭😭😭😭😭

I'm in a small primary, we're nut free around the kids but as we've got no allergic staff members, it flies under the radar in the staffroom. I think our head wouldn't want a whole box labelled "nutty delight" but if it's one sweet out of 10 options it's ok. With COVID we're washing hands so much anyway so those going back after lunch to allergic kids will have clean hands before handing out worksheets etc. We've got posters of the allergic children in every room so we're all aware.

Thanks, still a mixed bag then really, and looks like it depends on the school.
