Where the allergen is not obvious from the name of the ingredient, there will be a clear reference to the name of the allergen next to the ingredient e.g. ‘casein’ (milk) or ‘tofu’ (soya). Food businesses can choose the method of emphasis that they would like to use, for example, bold, italics, highlighting, contrasting colours, CAPITALISING TEXT and underlining. An allergy advice statement may be used to direct consumers to the ingredients list for allergen information. Activities to teach about allergens are available on the food a fact of life website :
