Update history

2026-09-04 14:22
Updated Allergen information section to clarify that if your activity does not need to be registered as a food business, you are not legally required to provide allergen information for foods you supply. We encourage you to provide allergen information where possible, as this can help people with food allergies, intolerances or coeliac disease make informed and safer food choices.
