Allergen rules and guidance can change, so hospitality businesses should keep their menus, allergen matrices, signage and staff training under review. Out-of-date allergen information can put customers at risk and leave the business exposed during an inspection or complaint.
Restaurants should review menus, allergen matrices, staff training, signage, online ordering information and any written customer allergen information to make sure it is accurate and accessible.
The FSAI references S.I. No. 656 of 2024 as an update to the Irish rules. Food businesses should make sure their allergen information process reflects the current requirements.
