In a move that's sure to divide opinion, a community group has said they have controversially chosen to stop fundraising, using the traditional Bunnings sausage sizzle.

Rotary South Pacific's Andrew Best appeared on Today this morning, citing a shift in dietary requirements as the motivation.

But the bold decision was labelled un-Australian by some, including the Today hosts.

Rotary's supervisor of club and district support, Andrew Best, told Today Rotary has been raising money with Bunnings sausage sizzles "for decades", but the organisation has to make some changes.

"We've been doing this for over 100 years and we need to move with the times," he said.

"We are listening to the community needs and the ability to make impact with more than just a sausage is what our community has asked for... so we are going to adjust."

Although, maybe it was a case of baby brain for Sarah, or the fact Karlos has been doing this gig for so long... the pair forgot what day it is.

Turns out Andrew and the Today producers were pranking the hosts for April Fools Day and Rotary's sausage sizzle fundraising isn't going anywhere.

"We are not going anywhere Karl, Rotary sausages are here to stay," he assured.

"I don't need to be wound up," a relieved Karl said.

"Fuel is already through the roof!"
