Allergen Management

Supporting Your Team. Meeting the legal requirement.

Effective allergen management is a critical part of food safety and legal compliance. We will work closely with your business to implement clear, accurate, and legally compliant allergen controls that protect both your business and your customers.

Our process begins with a thorough review of your current menus and the ingredients used in each dish, conducted in collaboration with your Head Chef or HACCP Team. This ensures we capture accurate and detailed information for every menu item.

From this review, we will develop a Food Allergen Content Record a user-friendly, clearly formatted document that presents allergen information in a way that is easy for both staff and customers to understand. This supports your team in communicating confidently and consistently while meeting all current legislative requirements.

You’ll receive both hard and digital copies of your allergen documentation, making it simple to update and maintain as your menu evolves.

With our support, your allergen controls will be practical, professional, and fully compliant, providing your customers with peace of mind and your business with a strong foundation of safety and trust.
