An allergen matrix — also called an allergen chart or sheet — lists menu items against the 14 regulated allergens. It gives staff a written reference for customer conversations. The FSA recommends written information alongside a conversation for non-prepacked food; a matrix is one way to provide it.
Celery, cereals containing gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oats), crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, tree nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews, pecans, brazils, pistachios, macadamias), peanuts, sesame, soya, and sulphur dioxide/sulphites above 10mg/kg or 10mg/litre.
For an egg mayonnaise sandwich, check the bread and mayonnaise supplier labels as well as your recipe. If the bread contains wheat and the mayonnaise contains egg and mustard, add the sandwich as a row and mark ✓ under Cereals (Gluten), Eggs and Mustard. Check every other column before relying on the row. If you pack the sandwich before customers choose it for direct sale, use the free food label maker for a separate label draft and check the PPDS labelling guide; the matrix does not replace a required pack label.
Food packed before it is selected or ordered may be PPDS when the same business packs and offers it for direct sale. Check the FSA PPDS guidance (or Food Standards Scotland guidance) for your sales method. PPDS packs need the name of the food and a full ingredient list with allergens emphasised; this matrix does not replace that label. Make one free label draft, or start a Pro trial to build reusable product records.
