Malta: 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.
- LawAllergen information on the 14 EU allergens is mandatory for food that is not prepacked (Regulation 1169/2011, art. 44).
- Chef Hygiene defaultChef Hygiene checks for a written list per dish and an “ask staff” sign. This is the app’s default.
