The FSA has published a consultation on the introduction of best practice guidance on providing allergen information for food businesses supplying non-prepacked food.
The focus of the guidance is a change to emphasise providing this information in writing, along with having a conversation with the customer.
The FSA have produced a new best practice guidance document that will go to public consultation on 3rd October 2024 and be published, based on stakeholder feedback, in February 2025.
Therefore, comments and feedback are now welcomed on the proposed changes and any potential impacts that they may have on any other aspects of the guidance.
The new guidance will apply in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. There is separate guidance for Scotland. The FSA is therefore seeking feedback from stakeholders in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The consultation is accessible on the FSA website here and will run for 8 weeks until 27th November 2024.
Please email AllergenInformation.Consultation@food.gov.uk if you have any questions.
