What this means

Customers must receive accurate allergen information before purchase and again when food is supplied. Recipe changes and substitutions must remain controlled.

What to do

  1. Create one checked ingredient and allergen record for each product.
  2. Make the online information match the label and delivered food.
  3. Stop the product if an ingredient change has not been reviewed.
