Allergens on the menu: how to comply (and show them on the QR)
Since Regulation (EU) 1169/2011, all hospitality businesses are required to inform about the allergens present in their dishes. Failing to do so can lead to penalties.
The 14 mandatory allergens
Gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soy, dairy, tree nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin and molluscs.
How to inform correctly
The information must be available and accessible to the customer. A digital menu makes it easy: on each dish you list its allergens and the customer sees them instantly on their phone, without asking.
The QR menu advantage
With a tool like Cartia you add each dish's allergens in seconds and they show automatically on the public menu. You comply with the law, build trust and avoid trouble. Try it free.
