As a business, you have to provide allergy information on the food that you sell, even if it is unpackaged.
You should:
- tell customers that they can ask for advice about food
- check all recipes to see what is contained
- stored food separately
- train staff how to check with the kitchen on making a meal without certain ingredients
The Foods Standards Agency can provide guidance on:
- what ingredients can cause allergic reactions
- allergen labeling for different types of food
- prepacked food
- gluten free and vegan claims
- buffets
- food deliveries
- takeaway foods
- avoiding cross contamination
- enforcement and penalties
