Mince pies have been banned from a primary school’s Christmas fete over fears they could be a health and safety hazard.

The headteacher has said the seasonal treats cannot be sold in case a child has an allergic reaction to the ingredients.

Parents have branded the decision an over-reaction

Neil Davies, headteacher at Mynydd Cynffig Junior School in Kenfig Hill, near Porthcawl, said: “I have got to guarantee the health and safety of the pupils. I’m not doing it to upset anybody.”
