Allergen awareness

Allergen Poster: Clear Identification of All 14 Regulated Allergens

A high-visibility poster listing all 14 allergens regulated under UK law, with everyday food examples. Essential for every kitchen, prep area, and front-of-house station.

Why it matters

Why allergen awareness is a legal and moral obligation

Natasha's Law, which came into force in October 2021, requires all food prepacked for direct sale to carry a full ingredients list with allergens emphasised. But even for non-prepacked food, UK law requires you to provide accurate allergen information to customers on request — and to manage allergen cross-contact in your kitchen.

An allergic reaction in your establishment is not just a customer complaint — it is a potentially fatal incident. Approximately 10 people die from food-induced anaphylaxis in the UK each year. An EHO will test your team's allergen knowledge during inspection. A prominently displayed allergen poster signals that your business takes this seriously.

How to use this poster

Displaying allergen information in your kitchen and front of house

Place this poster in multiple locations: the kitchen wall where all food handlers can see it, the front-of-house area as a reference for serving staff, and the staff room as a training aid. Use it during induction to walk new staff through the 14 allergens and the less obvious foods that contain them — celery in stock powders, mustard in dressings, sulphur dioxide in dried fruit.

Digital SFBB goes beyond a static poster: it gives your team an interactive allergen matrix linked to your actual menu and recipes. When a customer has an allergy query, staff can check instantly rather than relying on memory.
