The ACT Health Protection Service has banned "high risk" home-made dishes such as spring rolls, quiches and casseroles from school funding raising events, according to the Canberra Times.
The paper reported ACT Health officials surprised parents running two stores at a school fete early this month when they stopped them selling home-made dishes. The offending dishes were a quiche that contained cream and a pate that contained meat.
An ACT Health spokeswoman said the dishes that might contain food poisoning bacteria were considered potentially hazardous and included casseroles, rice dishes, quiches, spring rolls and any foods containing meat, dairy or moist cereal products or ingredients.
ACT Health recently posted guidelines on food safety requirements for temporary food stalls on its website.
