How it works
Type them one by one, or paste your whole list, one item per line.
Pick the rules you follow, then tick what each item contains. For gluten and tree nuts, also pick the exact cereal or nut.
Choose a grid or a list, press Print, and pick "Save as PDF" in your browser to keep a copy.
Before you print
Check every ingredient and your suppliers' labels, sauces and garnishes included, not what you remember.
"Gluten (wheat)" or "tree nuts (almonds)" tells a guest with an allergy far more than the group alone.
A new supplier or a swapped ingredient can change an item's allergens. Print a new chart and date it.
Put it by the till or in a binder guests can ask for, and show your staff where it is.
FAQ
In the UK and the EU, the 14 allergens of Annex II of Regulation 1169/2011: cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soy, milk, tree nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin and molluscs. In the US, the FDA lists 9 major food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame. Pick the rules in the tool and the chart shows those columns.
In the UK and the EU you must tell guests if an item contains any of the 14 allergens. In the UK it can be written, or given by staff with a clear written notice telling guests to ask; some EU countries, like France, ask for written information guests can read without asking. In the US, the rules depend on your state and city. A printed chart is the written record your staff can point to.
The grid, one row per item and one column per allergen, is quick to scan on a wall or a counter. The list, one line per item with its allergens written out, reads better when you have many items.
