PEAL Food labelling stands for Plain English Allergen Labelling. It’s a system designed to make allergen information on food products clear and easy to understand. Here’s what PEAL entails:
- Plain: Information should be straightforward and simple.
- English: Allergen information must be in English.
- Allergen: Clearly identify and list all allergens present in the products.
- Labelling: Use a consistent and visible format for presenting allergen information.
For bakeries, this means having a clear section on packaging or visible signage in-store that lists all allergens present in each product.
