Wash Your Hands
- Wet hands with warm running water
- Apply soap and lather well
- Scrub for 20 seconds — backs of hands, between fingers, under nails, thumbs
- Rinse thoroughly
- Dry with a clean paper towel
Always wash: before handling food · after raw meat, fish or eggs · after the bin, cleaning chemicals or handling money · after breaks and the toilet.
Safe Temperatures
- Check and record fridge/freezer temps at least daily
- Cool cooked food quickly — ideally within 90 minutes — before refrigerating
- Never refreeze defrosted food
- *Scotland: reheat to 82°C
Stop Allergen Cross-Contact
- Separate boards, knives and utensils for allergen-free orders
- Clean surfaces and equipment before preparing an allergy order
- Wash hands and change gloves between tasks
- Store allergen ingredients sealed, labelled and below/away from others
- Beware shared fryers — oil carries allergens between foods
- Never guess — check the allergen matrix, and if unsure, ask the person in charge
The posters are the easy half.
The longer job is showing what's in each thing you sell, when you last checked it, and who signed it off. AllergenKit keeps those together and prints them dated.

Make the allergen side effortless too
Posters set expectations; records prove compliance. Build a dated, print-ready allergen matrix free in ten minutes, print a 14-allergen customer poster, and if you sell grab-and-go food, generate compliant PPDS labels from your recipes.
