Jack Double, 14, got the on-the-spot penalty after litter wardens saw him chuck the treat to the bird.
The shocked youngster, who had bought a bag of chips on his school lunchbreak, said: “One tasted hard — and I saw the other half was green so I threw it to a seagull.
“I couldn’t believe it when two litter enforcement officers came up and handed me a notice saying I had to pay £50.”
Just weeks earlier Jack, of Ipswich, Suffolk, had been given a certificate by a litter officer commending him for putting rubbish in a bin.
