Allergens & labelling

Allergen Management & Natasha's Law Compliance — Birmingham

Get allergens wrong and it isn't a rating problem. It's a prosecution, and potentially far worse. For restaurants and takeaways across Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley, Sandwell and the wider West Midlands, Natasha's Law changed what you must put on food you pre-pack for direct sale. Most kitchens are still guessing at it.

Why it matters

Allergens can be a prosecution

Accurate information, controlled cross-contact and traceable labels are not just rating items — they are legal requirements.

Differentiator

Why allergens are where my background matters most

In BRC-standard food manufacturing, allergen control is not a menu note. It is segregated storage, validated cleaning between runs, controlled label reconciliation, supplier specification checks and documented verification that every claim on a pack is true. Getting it wrong means recall.

That is the level of rigour I bring to a kitchen — scaled to fit how you actually work, but built on the same logic: know what is in it, control how it moves, prove what is on the label.
