Sandwiches will be returning to school lunch menus across the north-east after Aberdeen City Council decided to review its controversial decision to ban the humble snack.
The council’s decision to remove sandwiches was blamed on an impending European Union (EU) directive on labelling packaged food.
The council also said it wanted to move away from a “fast-food culture” and meet Scottish Government requirements for balanced school meals.
However, the backlash intensified when it emerged that politicians were still being served sandwiches from the Town House canteen.
