RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES • Keep a copy of all
ingredient information for incoming foods and keep ingredients in the original containers where possible. • Double check all
incoming foods and ingredients for unexpected substitutions or recipe changes. Even products like Worcester Sauce can change. • Ensure all containers are
clearly labelled. • Ensure allergen
information is kept up to date especially when introducing new products, when recipes change, or diff erent brands are
substituted. • Ensure consistency of
your own recipes. • Make sure all relevant
staff are aware of where and how information is stored. • Ensure separate and
secure storage of allergenic ingredients and strict separation, in time or space, when using them. • T e FSA website is
a good source of further information and advice on allergens. T ey have useful downloadable recipe cards etc that you may be able to use.
