What your kitchen must tell customers about 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.

  • LawFor loose food served or sold in restaurants, written allergen information must be given where the food is presented, sold or supplied. It must be in Icelandic or English.
