The food label maker built for Natasha's Law
Type your recipe once. Get compliant PPDS labels — full ingredients, allergens in bold — printed on ordinary Avery sheets from the printer you already own.
- £9/month, no contract
- Any inkjet or laser printer
- Standard Avery sheets
From recipe to printed label in three steps
- Build your ingredient library. Each ingredient once, with its allergens ticked from the supplier label — mayonnaise knows it contains egg and mustard forever.
- Assemble products. Pick ingredients in weight order; the ingredient declaration writes itself, allergens emphasised in bold exactly as the rules require.
- Print. Select products, choose your Avery sheet, print at 100%. Change a supplier next month? Edit one ingredient — every affected label updates.
The same ingredient data also powers your allergen matrix — one source of truth, no stale spreadsheets when the EHO visits.
Honest comparisons
vs. handwriting labels
Legal if legible — but slow, smudge-prone, and one recipe tweak means rewriting the batch. Fine for two products; painful for twelve.
vs. enterprise software
Nutritics, Erudus and friends are excellent for chains — with pricing and onboarding to match. AllergenKit is self-serve and £9/month because a bakery isn't a hospital group.
vs. label-company apps
Some free label tools lock you into buying that company's label stock. AllergenKit prints on any Avery-compatible sheet from any supermarket or stationer.
Common questions
What does a UK food label legally need to show?
For PPDS food: the name of the food and a full ingredients list in descending weight order, with the 14 allergens emphasised (bold is standard). See our PPDS labelling guide for a worked example and the common mistakes.
Do I need a special label printer?
No — any inkjet or laser printer, using standard Avery-compatible A4 sheets (L7165 for full ingredient lists, L7163 for short ones).
Does it work for home baking businesses?
Yes — home bakers selling boxed cakes and bakes at markets or for collection are squarely who this is for. If you pack before the customer orders, Natasha's Law applies to you. New to selling from home? Start with our home food business rules guide.
Who's responsible for the label being right?
You are — AllergenKit formats your data compliantly, but the ingredient facts must come from your recipes and supplier labels. We flag this in the app, and we never guess allergens for you.
