Enforcement and Penalties
Apart from the possibility of making a customer seriously ill, you could also face the risk of financial and reputational damage to your food business if you fail to comply with allergen information requirements.
Local authorities/HSE/EHO`s enforce allergen information regulations. Failure to comply can result in action from the local authority.
If you fail to act on advice given by the local authority, an improvement notice may be issued. If you do not meet the requirements of this notice, you will be issued with a closure order and even a penalty if indicted.
