Natasha's Law

Natasha’s allergy law came into effect on 1 October. The Food Information Regulations now include new requirements for the labelling of allergens on prepacked for direct sale (PPDS) foods which are foods which are packaged on the premises before a consumer orders them.

The DfE has updated the Allergy Guidance for Schools to reflect the new requirements.

Here are some links that you may find useful from the DfE, Food Standards Agency and the NHS:
