The consultation seeks views on updating the food allergen labelling rules for foods which are prepacked for direct sale (PPDS). In particular, which options would work best:
- option 1: promote best practice (no change in law)
- option 2: add “ask the staff” stickers to packaging, staff would have to provide information orally and in writing if asked
- option 3: label food with the name of the food and list allergens
- option 4: label food with name of food, full ingredients list and with allergens emphasised
Prepacked for direct sale (PPDS) foods are those packed on the same premises from which they are being sold, before they are offered for sale. These can include baguettes or salads that are made onsite and then placed on a shelf for customers to buy.
