Allergens: Do I have to declare allergens?

Whether nuts, lactose, gluten or eggs - many foods or individual components of them can trigger allergies or intolerances. According to the European Food Information Regulation (FIR), you as a food processing company are legally obliged to label these allergens. This applies not only to the clear labelling of allergens in the list of ingredients of packaged foods, but also to loose foods and dishes.

It is therefore your responsibility to label these allergens accordingly. Only Meto's system solutions offer you legal certainty with regard to applicable labelling obligations - both with regard to the European FIR and with regard to requirements specifically for the German market.
