Allergen management for cafes and takeaways
Allergen information is only as good as its last update. One matrix, tied to your actual menu, gives staff a single source of truth for the 14 regulated allergens — instead of a laminated sheet that was right in March.
What you get
- An allergen matrix covering every menu item against the 14 regulated allergens
- One place to update when a recipe or supplier changes — no orphaned copies behind the till
- Clear answers for staff when a customer asks, including new starters on their first shift
- Records that show inspectors allergen control is managed, not improvised
Natasha's Law and beyond
Since October 2021, food prepacked for direct sale needs full ingredient labelling with allergens emphasised — and made-to-order food still requires accurate allergen information on request. Both fail the same way: the information drifts out of date. Keeping the matrix in the same system as your daily records makes updating it part of the routine. Read our guide to Natasha's Law and the allergen rules for the detail.
