Are you a…
…baker, butcher, mobile seller, street vendor, event caterer, fast food and takeaway restaurant, cafe, pub or restaurant?
Then it’s time to take note because From 1 October, allergen labelling laws are changing.
This affects all foods which are pre-packaged for direct sale (PPDS), and under the new law, foods of this kind MUST have a full list of ingredients and allergens on the label.
So, here’s what you need to know.
What does PPDS mean?
| Pre-packaged for direct sale means all foods which are packed at the same site as they are sold, including market stalls and vehicles, and those which are in packaging before being ordered or selected by customers. These foods include those that customers select themselves, pre-wrapped foods which are kept behind a counter and some products packaged and sold at mobile or temporary outlets. |
