Founded by Allergy UK, Allergy Awareness Week (26th – 30th April 2021) gives us an opportunity to raise awareness about all allergies whilst highlighting the difficulties people with allergies experience. The event helps people understand the seriousness of some allergies, and improve our knowledge of what can sometimes be a life-threatening condition.
The UK Food Information Amendment, also known as Natasha’s Law, came into effect in October 2021 thanks to the actions of a lobbying group lead by the parents of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, the teenager who died after suffering an allergic reaction to an undeclared ingredient in a prepacked meal. Due to their efforts, the government confirmed that stronger laws would be implemented to protect those with food allergies and give them greater confidence in the food they buy. According to new rules, PPDS food has to clearly display the name of the food and a full ingredients list, with allergenic ingredients emphasised.
At Essential Cuisine, we are proud of our 100% gluten free range, with many of these ingredients containing no declarable allergens^.
