Natasha's Law Food Labelling

Service Description

Natasha’s Law came into effect on 1st October 2021. Food pre-packed on the same site that it is offered or sold is no longer be exempt from the need for a food label with a legally compliant ingredient list. This applies to hotels and restaurants. There has been a two-year lead in period to help businesses prepare for the new requirements. If PPDS (prepared for direct sale) foods on site are not labelled, Trading Standards or Environmental Health Officers may provide advice or serve an improvement notice. A more serious offence is to label foods incorrectly, especially if allergens are missing from the ingredients list and an allergic incident occurs. Enforcement officers are likely to take formal action in these cases which could result in seizure, prosecution, unlimited fines, and imprisonment. Our expert will guide you through the legislation: which of your foods it will apply to; what is required on the label; common mistakes made; best software solutions; label printers; training and due diligence checks.
