Ketchup banned from school menu

Updated on 13 October 2008

Tomato ketchup is the latest foodstuff to be banned from canteens at some schools as part of a move towards healthier eating, it has been revealed.

The condiment is no longer on the menu at primary schools in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales, and some parents have branded the move "daft".

It follows hot on the heels of Marmite which made the news last week after Ceredigion Council, in Mid Wales, banned the spread from its school breakfast clubs because of "a high level of salt".
