David Seymour's shrugging off food poisoning concerns at a Christchurch school, saying its principal is often complaining about Government policies. 

Haeata Community Campus recalled all lunches yesterday after discovering some boxes contained rancid and "dead" looking food.  

Some children had already eaten their lunch. 

Minister-in-charge Seymour told Mike Hosking a previous batch has likely been re-served to students. 

He says they're keeping an open mind while looking into how meals from last week got in front of children this week. 

The School Lunch Collective, Ministry of Education and MPI are all investigating.
