Advice for businesses
If you're a food business, we advise you to take the following steps:
- Identify and record the allergens in the food you sell - we advise all food businesses to undertake an assessment to find out which allergens are present in the food they sell. Your assessment should include every dish, side dish, accompaniment, condiment or drink. View resources on how to identify and record the allergens in the food you sell
- Manage allergens on your premises - ensure there are practices in place to prevent allergenic cross-contamination and train your staff to use these practices. View guidance on preventing cross-contamination and how to train your staff
- Provide customers with allergen information - this can be done verbally or in writing. You must also display a notice advising customers with food allergies to tell you about their allergies. Download a copy of an allergen notice you can display on your premises
