Allergens and your Food Business
Prepacked Food for Direct Sale Guidance
New legislation, requiring food businesses in Scotland to include the product name and full ingredient information on food sold prepacked for direct sale (PPDS), came into force on 1 October 2021 in Scotland and the rest of the UK. The new legislation improves information about allergens and other ingredients in food packed in advance, mainly at the same place where it’s sold, before being offered to consumers.
