with Hubl's allergen feature.
An intuitive solution for easily organising, tracking and managing allergens in your food menu.
Whether you own a restaurant or bakery - you have a legal duty to help prevent allergic reactions and protect customer health.
Allergen control.
Food businesses have a legal responsibility under Natasha's Law to manage allergens and keep customers safe. You are required by law to give consumers allergen information for both pre-packed and non-pre-packed food and drinks.
​
Efficient food allergen management involves:
Good hygiene & preparation practices to avoid cross-contamination
Maintaining accurate allergen information, especially in your menu
You need to know what's in the food you sell. You should record allergen ingredient information and make sure it’s always kept up to date.
With allergies being increasingly more prominent in the media, businesses simply cannot afford to get this wrong.
More than a digital menu.
Hubl's Allergen Module gives you increased control over allergens. It allows you to record, track and filter allergen ingredients - and access this information whenever you need it.
What's more, it offers a great paperless alternative to allergen charts.

Whether you own a coffee shop, bakery or hotel - you are required by law to give consumers allergen information for both pre-packed and non-pre-packed foods and drinks. You are also required to handle and manage allergens effectively when preparing food.
​
Besides potentially causing customers to fall seriously ill, failing to comply with allergen information requirements can result in reputational and financial damage to your business as well as action from local authorities.
​
Did you know that approximately 2.6 million people in the UK are living with a food allergy?
Your allergen control program shouldn’t be an afterthought; it should be an integral part of your processes. It’s critical that your staff are aware of the composition of the dishes you sell so that you can cater specifically to those people that suffer from allergies or intolerances.
​
do you use an allergen matrix?
Do you use an allergen matrix? Hubl’s intuitive module is a digital alternative to your traditional, paper-based food allergen chart. Easy to use, the module allows your team to quickly see which menu items contain allergens and advise your customers accordingly. Having all the information in one place makes it easier to accurately advise customers about all the delicious dishes you sell.
​
Being paperless, Hubl’s module reduces business costs as you won’t need expensive consumables such as paper or printing ink - trade piles of paperwork from allergen charts for an easy-to-use, smart app.
How it works: you replicate your menu in the app by adding products and their details. For each individual product, you should select all the allergens that are present in it as ingredients, or where the likelihood of cross-contamination is high. You can also categorise the product as being vegetarian or vegan (eating requirements). Once you’ve created your allergen menu, you can filter its items by allergen or eating requirement - simply open the filter and select the options which you want to exclude. This will allow you to see which dishes do NOT contain the filtered ingredients, presenting customers with a tailored list of menu items.
