Shelton Junior School

Allergy Awareness at Shelton

Snack time food and packed lunches are monitored by staff and foods given by school are peanut, nut free and other allergens free depending on the children attending. All staff know the procedures at snack and lunch time to ensure the safety of children with allergies. However, staff cannot guarantee that foods will not contain traces of nuts.

Our Allergy Awareness Policy provides further information on the steps we take to keep all our children safe.

Packed Lunches

We ask that all parents provide “nut-free” lunches. This means we ask that no item with a nut listed in bold as an allergen on an items ingredients list is brought into school. Items that say “may contain traces …” are permissible.

For example:

As the word Peanuts is in bold in the item above, this would not be suitable to bring to school.

However, this cereal bar is permissable, as it states it may contain nuts, but nuts are not identified in bold letters in the ingredients.
