DINNER ladies have been banned from baking triangular flapjacks after a school branded them dangerous.
Kitchen staff were ordered to cook rectangular or square snacks instead after a pupil was hit in the face by a flying oaty morsel, The Sun reports.
The Year 7 lad suffered a "sore eye" when he was accidentally struck in the face by the 4in-long snack chucked by another child.
He was instantly patched up and sent home for the afternoon from Castle View School on Canvey Island.
But head Gill Thomas quickly decided to ban kitchen staff from baking the three-sided desserts — ruling only rectangular or square or flapjacks should be served.
Less than 24 hours after the food fight, school manager Keith Evans gathered the cooks and dinner ladies to tell them triangular flapjacks were off the menu.
Instead the treats can be sold only in four-sided shapes to ensure the 1,200 pupils can eat without fear of injury.
