How to use it

  • Download the spreadsheet, or print this page in landscape from your browser's Print menu
  • Write in every dish, side, sauce and drink as it is served, garnishes included
  • Check each ingredient's label and mark every allergen the dish contains
  • Sign and date it, and check it again whenever a dish or a supplier changes

Which allergens are on it

The columns are the 14 allergens that food businesses in the UK and the EU must be able to tell customers about. In Australia and New Zealand the list is set by Food Standards Australia New Zealand and is not identical, so use the two blank columns, or rename columns in the spreadsheet, to match your regulator's current list. This template is not legal advice.
