Students Banned From Eating Nuts

19/10/13

NutsThe Headmistress at Eaton House Belgravia School in London, has banned pupils from eating peanut butter and cereals containing nuts for breakfast during the week, in case it triggers an allergic reaction in other students. This is a further precautionary step, on top of their strict rules about the contents of snack boxes brought to school, and their nut-free lunches served at school.

However, the Anaphylaxis Campaign said that they do not support nut bans in schools because they can cause a “false sense of security”. They believe that “children will gain a better awareness of their allergies, and learn avoidance strategies, if they move in an environment where allergens may turn up unexpectedly”.
