A mum has questioned whether it is "workable" for a school to ban food that "may contain traces of nuts".
She explained she had received an email from her daughter's school, saying that no food should be brought onto the premises that contained nuts or may have traces of nuts due to a child having a severe allergy. Writing on Mumsnet, she asked how the school could expect everyone to avoid anything that "may contain traces of nuts".
She said: "Had an email last night from DD's (dear daughter's) school (it's a school that goes right through from 3-18 so covers all age groups) saying that as of today no food can be brought onto school premises that contains nuts or 'may contain traces of nuts' due to a child with a severe nut allergy starting there.
