FSA explains PPDS changes for businesses

From 1 October 2021, the requirements for labelling on prepacked for direct sale (PPDS) foods will change in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The new labelling requirements will help protect consumers by providing potentially life-saving allergen information on the packaging.

Any business that produces PPDS food will be required to label it to show the name of the food and the ingredients list. This includes emphasising within the ingredients list any of the 14 allergens used in the product, as required by food law.

This webinar will give a background to the new allergen labelling changes, also known as Natasha’s Law. It will help small and micro food businesses to better understand what PPDS is, how it effects your food business and how you can ensure you are compliant with the new regulations from1 October 2021.

Ask your questions

There will also be plenty of time dedicated to a Q&A session with our expert panel. You can submit your questions at the live event, or beforehand in the “Submit a Question” section of the delegate area.

Please note this event is aimed at food businesses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland only and registration is limited to residents of the UK only.

Due to the nature of this event, it will be held in English only. However, the agenda and pre-event materials are available in Welsh. You are welcome to submit your pre-event questions in Welsh. If your question is put to the panel during the live event, the response will be in English only, however we will provide you with a written response in Welsh.

Spaces are limited and will operate on a first come first served basis. Registration will close on Wednesday 28 July. 

For those who are unable to attend; the full webinar will be available on the FSA’s website after the event.
