We have several children in school with an extremely severe food allergy. 

To safeguard the health and welfare of these pupils, please could we request that nuts of any kind are NOT brought into school by any of our other pupils.

This affects other products, such as hummus, pesto and Asian foods such as Thai, Indian and Chinese. Nuts are also found in pastries and other sweet items such as cake, ice cream and chocolates. If nuts are an ingredient in a foodstuff, they must be labelled in the ingredients list by law.
