A mum says her son was banned from eating a healthy home-made sausage roll packed with vegetables because his school said it didn't fit in with their lunchbox rules.
She has been ordered to send in a nutritional breakdown of the lunch snack after a 'condescending' note was sent home in the packed lunch container.
The lunchbox contained plenty of fruit, vegetables and protein balls - but the school objected to the sausage and vegetable rolls, reports The Mirror .
They sent back a note which reads: "Let's work together to make it easier for children to make healthy choices!
"There were lots of great choices in this lunchbox however sausage rolls [are] too high in fat… (Please provide nutrient value if they are homemade).
"The food did not fit with our service’s nutrition guidelines. For some healthier lunchbox ideas, ask an educator, or go to the Good for Kids website."
The mum wrote on Facebook: "So I cooked my butt off... included in the cook were sausage rolls loaded with veg I sent them off to preschool with them to return along with this note,” she said.
"They will still get eaten it's just so frustrating.
"In my opinion these sausage rolls are pretty healthy for him I will be sending the information back to the school.
"They do not allow the food item to be eaten once they attach the note I had a feeling this would happen so I packed extra for him. I also packed two Milo balls just to see if they also said no to them, guess what they were allowed."
