Advice for food businesses
Allergy labelling for prepacked food for direct sale
Prepacked for direct sale or PPDS is food which is packaged at the same place it is offered or sold to consumers and is in this packaging before it is ordered or selected.
Product labelling requirements protect your consumers by providing potentially life-saving allergen information on the packaging.
- Any business that produces PPDS food must label it with the name of the food and a full ingredients list, with allergenic ingredients emphasised within the list.
- Use the Allergen and ingredients food labelling decision tool to help you to label your food
- Guidance to support businesses meet changes in allergen labelling requirements for PPDS food, also known as Natasha's Law.
