Frequently Asked Questions on Food Safety, Standards & Labelling Regulations
What are UK allergen labelling requirements for food businesses?
Under the Food Information to Consumers Regulations, businesses must clearly declare 14 major allergens on pre-packed food labels. Natasha Law (2021) extended full ingredient labelling to pre-packed for direct sale (PPDS) foods.
How does the Food Standards Agency (FSA) authorize Regulated Products in Great Britain?
Following Brexit, the FSA and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) operate the GB Regulated Products application service, evaluating food additives, novel foods, flavourings, GMOs, food contact materials, and feed additives through risk assessment before submitting advice to ministers for statutory authorization via statutory instruments.
What is 'Natasha's Law' and what allergen labelling does it mandate?
The Food Information (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2019 ('Natasha's Law') requires food businesses selling food pre-packed for direct sale (PPDS) to provide full ingredient lists on the label with all 14 statutory allergens clearly emphasised (e.g. bold or highlighted), closing the previous loophole for freshly made food packaged on site.
