Several allergy-awareness events take place in April and May to highlight the issues faced by people with a food allergy or food intolerance.
We’ve previously published several blogs offering advice to sweet retailers, from identifying your target market to selling sweets online. Every one of these retailers – big, small, online or brick-and-mortar – is responsible for managing allergens in their store.
As a sweet retailer, you’re now also subject to the rules set out in Natasha’s Law, the legislation introduced in October 2021 and named after Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, who died after unknowingly consuming sesame seeds in a sandwich she bought.
This tragic event has led to tighter regulations on food allergens, and it’s crucial for sweet retailers to check that shop policies are up to date and are followed correctly.
