FAQ

The Food Information Regulation means allergy boxes will no longer be allowed. Why aren’t allergy boxes going to be used for allergen information anymore?

The Regulation means that allergy boxes will no longer be allowed as they are a repetition of mandatory allergy information. Because the information about allergens has to be emphasised in the ingredients list, manufacturers will not be allowed to repeat this information in an allergy box. Information on contamination risk like ‘may contain gluten’ statements will still be allowed. The reason for not allowing repetition is because this increases the chance of having to recall a product when information does not match up.
