How many food allergens must be labelled under UK law?

There are 14 allergens that must always be clearly indicated on labels and menus when they are present in a food or drink product.

What is the allergen warning on labels?

The allergen warning (sometimes called an “allergy advice statement”) is a clear indication on food packaging or menus that highlights which of the 14 allergens are present.

On pre-packed foods: allergens must be emphasised in the ingredients list (e.g. bold, CAPITALS, underlined, or a different colour). Example: Ingredients: Wheat flour (GLUTEN), Milk powder (MILK).

On non-prepacked foods (restaurants, cafés, catering): businesses must provide allergen information in writing (menus, chalkboards) or verbally if asked.

On pre-packed for direct sale (PPDS) foods (e.g. sandwiches made and packaged on-site): full ingredient and allergen labelling is required, following Natasha’s Law (from Oct 2021).
