Notice Title

FS403027 Baseline study on food industry provision of allergy information

Notice Description

In advance of the introduction of the current legislation on food labelling for non-prepacked food (which came into effect in 2014), the FSA commissioned work to establish a baseline on the provision of allergen information by food businesses. Five years on from the legislation coming into effect, the FSA is now seeking to collect new data to understand the current provision of information on allergenic ingredients by food businesses, and how this compares to the baseline information collected previously. We are looking to commission a contractor to design and deliver a one-off follow up study to collect and compare current information provided by food businesses to the baseline findings. The study should be completed within 6 to 9 months of the contract being signed.
