Please find below a new tool developed by the FSA which aims to help businesses understand what allergen labelling (information) requirements apply to different scenarios by asking 4 questions:

  • does the consumer order the food in person (i.e. is there a distance selling aspect?)
  • Is the food presented in packaging?
  • Is the food in packaging before it is selected or ordered?
  • Is the food packaged at the same place it is sold?
