Licensed Premises
The written food allergen information already provided for prepacked beverages (bottled, canned etc.) must also be provided for the non-prepacked form which includes draught beer and cider, wine provided by the glass, cocktails, smoothies and juices.
Allergen declarations for non-prepacked beverages could be provided in a number of ways, e.g. wine lists could include sulphite information on certain wines, while allergen information for other beverages, e.g. cocktails, could be provided adjacent to or as an addition to the price list at a conspicuous location(s) on the premises. The precise allergen information required must be in the form of “Contains…”.
Some cocktails or other mixed drinks may only be prepared in direct response to an individual request and may not be included in the regular drinks list. In such cases, it may not be feasible to provide written allergen information. However, the inclusion of any allergens should be communicated directly to the consumer before the sale is concluded.
