School bans home-made mince pies

A school has banned pupils from taking home-made cakes and biscuits such as mince pies to its Christmas fair.

Mynydd Cynffig junior school in Kenfig Hill, Bridgend,is reported to have acted on health and safety grounds.



Head teacher Neil Davies told a local newspaper there was a danger of illness and he had received no complaints.

But Pete Foley, the councillor in charge of education in the area, called it an over-reaction and children should be urged to eat home-made food.
