To comply with the new Food Information for Consumers Regulation (EU FIC) legislation, food businesses will need to provide information to consumers about the allergenic ingredients in the foods they sell. Evidence suggests that most food allergy incidents can be traced back to non-prepacked food, therefore information on potential allergens should always be provided to the consumer and as such businesses now need to comply with the regulation changes by December 2014. These new Food Allergy law changes will be enforced in 2014 to comply with the new EU FIR 1169/2011 law on the provision of food information to consumers. 13th December 2014 – if you’re in the food industry this is a date you should have firmly in your diary! For those that aren’t sure as to the significance of that date, it’s the date that the new food information for consumer laws (EU FIC) will be introduced into the UK that will require food businesses to provide allergy information on any food sold unpackaged, for example in catering outlets, deli counters, bakeries and sandwich bars.
