Are you label ready for Natasha s Law? Snacks-to-go providers reminded of allergen labelling deadline Bureau Veritas has sent out a reminder that regulations to make allergen labelling compulsory for snacks-to-go comes into effect in October in the UK.
While the Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) specialist welcomes the amendment to the Food Information Regulations (FIR), it is cautioning producers to set out a clear plan to transition towards more transparent labelling to avoid hefty penalties.
From 1 October 2021, all Prepacked for Direct Sale (PPDS) foods and snacks will need to sport a label showing the name of the item and a full ingredients list, with the allergenic ingredients emphasised in bold, italics or a different colour.
