Dear PCS Families,

Please click here for the guidance from the Food Standards Agency advising people who have a peanut allergy to avoid eating any foods containing or may contain mustard, because of potential contamination with peanuts.

We are continuing to serve and use foods as normal within the school setting and those with allergies can decide on whether to eat certain foods that may be contaminated with peanuts.

If your child has a peanut allergy, please ask them to talk to the catering staff in the Food Hall at lunch or break who will be able to give them information about ingredients in food or, during this period, it may be advisable for them to bring a homemade packed lunch / snacks.
