Home baking banned at school fetes?

'The sale of home-baked cakes and biscuits at school fêtes could be banned amid food poisoning fears, Scotland's parent-teacher organisation has warned' scotsman.com

Apparently some local authorities are concerned about poisoning as they could be the ones liable for thousands of pounds in compensation should anyone fall ill to E coli.

This would be a shame because I remember going to school fetes and everyone making a beeline for the home-baking stall and I would always buy some of my mum's traybakes (guaranteed to be good) but I would also take a risk on someone else's baking contribution (with various success).

Anyway, if you are baking for a fete this summer here are some failsafe recipes:
Rock buns
Chocolate caramel shortbread
Choc-cherry cupcakes

Enjoy!
