From the 1st October, any food which is prepacked for direct sale (PPDS) must be labelled with a list of ingredients, including emphasised allergens in bold. This is a major shift in allergen management impacting retailers, schools, hospitals, contract caterers and anybody else that prepares food on site for sale or for employees/users.
The new regulations is a change to current rules where the emphasis is on individuals to ask members of staff for allergen information. Potentially this could be dangerous if staff members are not fully informed. The new law is designed to take any errors out of the process. Therefore before any item is given to the customer, allergen information should be clearly displayed on the packaging.
