Food Standards Scotland (FSS) have recently published a prepacked for direct sale (PPDS) legislation partner toolkit.
To align with the rest of the UK, new legislation was introduced in Scotland in October 2021 which now requires all food businesses to include the product name and full ingredients list on food sold prepacked for direct sale (PPDS).
This legislation sets out to improve information about allergens and other ingredients in food prepared and packed in advance, mainly at the same place where it’s sold, before being offered to consumers.
The toolkit has been updated so businesses can see how they may be affected, and the actions needed to ensure they are compliant. It also highlights a free MenuCal tool which will support businesses across Scotland with providing the required ingredient and allergen information for all food prepacked for direct sale.
