NATASHA'S LAW What the new law means for Foodservice
WHAT IS NATASHA'S LAW?
OUR SOLUTION
The new legal regulations state that food businesses will be required to provide and clearly state a full ingredients list and allergen labelling on all pre-packaged food for direct sale on the premises.
With the support of our in-house nutritional software, Saffron, and custom labelling supplier, DayMark, Creed can offer our customers a fullservice solution. The recipes and nutritional information uploaded onto Saffron can be exported to DayMark's Menu Command and printed directly onto clear labels ready for pre-packed for direct sale products. Labels are printed in adherence to Government guidelines.
Prepacked for Direct Sale (PPDS) Food will legally have to display the information on the packaging: Name of the food Full list of ingredients, including highlighted allergens (bold, Italics or alternative colour)
WHEN WILL THE LAW BE IMPLEMENTED? OCTOBER 2021
Natasha’s Law (also known as the UK Food Information Amendment) will come into effect from October 2021.
The new regulations will apply to business in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland will have similar changes as set out by the Food Standards Scotland.
WHY IS THE NEW LAW SO IMPORTANT? In the UK, it is estimated that nearly 1 in 5 people suffers from an allergy. The new legislation will be introduced to protect sufferers and offer greater transparency around what people are consuming when out of the home. Not only does this highlight the importance of allergies but gives allergy sufferers confidence in the food that they buy and safeguards many people.
