Free 14 Allergen card to download

We’ve designed a free14-Allergens-Posterfor you to download and print off to use to help identify the allergens in your recipes and menus.

 

14 allergens that must be labelled

The Nutrition Program identifies the allergens in your recipes and shows them on the Food Label.

The Nutrition Program lists the allergens in ingredients.
When you create a recipe the Food Label shows the allergens in a recipe like this Cheese and Onion Pasty.
