Food Allergies
The General Food Law Regulation (EC) 178/2002, prohibits ‘unsafe’ food being placed on the market. When deciding whether a food is unsafe, the information a business provides to its customers, including on food labels, in menu descriptions, and the information provided by serving staff, are taken into account.
For a person with a food allergy, dishes containing the food they react to are ‘unsafe’, even though they are safe for most other people. So that means businesses will need to make sure that, when asked, they give people with food allergies the information they need about whether the food they react to is in a particular dish.
