Jersey: allergens
What your kitchen must tell customers about allergens.
Checked
“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.
- Official guidanceGive allergen information for the 14 allergens for food that is not prepacked. The new Food (Jersey) Regulations cover allergen information; the research did not read their exact words.
- Chef Hygiene defaultThe research did not confirm whether Jersey needs this in writing. Chef Hygiene checks for a written list per dish and an “ask staff” sign. This is the app’s default.
