Nut Free School27 June 2021 (by Jodie Binch (Jbinch)) |
IMPORTANT
As you may be aware, we have pupils that attend our school, who have severe nut allergies. An anaphylaxis shock (allergic reaction) can occur as a result of digestion, inhalation or any other contact with nut-based products. For the safety of our pupils, all nut-based products have been banned from the school premises. From this point forward, please do not send your child into school with any nut-based products for a snack or packed lunch - this includes products that may contain traces of nuts. Potential allergens could include the following.
* Spreads - eg chocolate spreads
*Cereal bars
*Some types of biscuits containing nuts
*Condiments - such as Satay Sauce
*Some snacks in pots containing nuts
It is important that you check the labelling of food products before sending your child in to school with them - it is not always apparent that products contain nuts or traces of nuts.
Thank you.
