Hungary: allergens

“Law” is a binding rule. “Official guidance” is not law, but inspectors expect it. “Chef Hygiene default” is a value the app checks against where no rule gives a number.

• LawGuests must be told about the 14 EU allergens in food that is not prepacked, before they order and free of charge. This includes online orders (Decree 36/2014 (FM)).
• LawWritten information is a sheet, menu or screen where the food is offered, with a sign that points guests to it.
• LawOral information is allowed only if a trained responsible person is always present, a visible notice says guests can ask, and a written internal procedure names that person and shows allergen training.
• LawThe information must be in Hungarian. If fresh meat was frozen before, you must say so.
