How do you identify and record the allergens you use?
1. Look at your menus.
2. Identify all the ingredients of each menu item, including drinks, sauces, gravies, glazes, etc.
3. Identify the allergens in these ingredients: look at labels, product specifications, etc.
4. Record allergens in the Menu Items allergen Check List (section 3, page 66) or another allergen recording tool, e.g., the Food Safety Authority of Ireland's (FSAI's) MenuCal (see www.fsai.ie).
