Mar 11, 2025
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued best practice industry guidance on providing allergen information to consumers with food hypersensitivities, encouraging information on food allergens to be available in writing in the out of home sector, for example restaurants, cafes, delis, market stalls and takeaways.
Among the recommendations for foodservice operators is to make information on the presence of any of the 14 major food allergens in their products readily available in writing at their sites, such as bakeries, cafés, restaurants, delis, market stalls and takeaway outlets.
An update to the guidance includes:
- A conversation between servers and customers about their allergen requirements
- Examples of how to provide written allergen information
- Free tools to support businesses with implementation, such as allergy icons, an allergen matrix, and a new allergy poster which food businesses can download and use on their own assets (e.g. menus and websites).
