How to Use This Template

This template creates a clear allergen matrix for your menu items. It lists the 14 declarable allergens across the top (celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, nuts, peanuts, sesame, soya, sulphur dioxide) and your menu items down the side. Mark which allergens are present in each dish.

Go through every ingredient in every dish and check for allergens — including sauces, marinades, oils, and garnishes. If you change a recipe or supplier, update the matrix immediately. Keep a printed copy accessible during service so staff can answer customer questions confidently.

Allergen information is a legal requirement under UK food law. Customers must be able to ask and receive accurate allergen information for any food you sell. Having a clear matrix posted or available on request is the simplest way to comply and protect customers with allergies.
