A blank allergen matrix covering all 14 allergens regulated under UK food law (Natasha's Law). List your dishes, tick the allergens present, and keep a copy for each event or service.
UK food law (the Food Information to Consumers Regulation) requires food businesses — including private chefs — to declare the presence of 14 major allergens in any food they provide. The allergens are:
For private chefs, this means knowing the allergen content of every dish you serve, disclosing it to clients before or at the point of service, and keeping documentation of what you disclosed and when.
Link your allergen matrix to your HACCP records. Guest allergen alerts fire if a dish you've logged contains something a client can't eat.
