Allergens

Tick allergens,don't copy them out.

If you sell non-prepacked food, you have to provide information on the 14 major allergens. On paper, that means footnotes, codes and a key on the last page. On a digital menu, you tick them for each dish, and guests see them with a symbol and name right on the dish, in their language.

Free plan with no credit card, no end date. No minimum term.

On the dish, not on page four

Guests see at a glance what's vegan, and with one tap which allergens it contains.

The 14 under EU FIC

Gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soya, milk, tree nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphites, lupin and molluscs. Ticked per dish, maintained once.

Three more details

Alcohol, caffeine and pork. Not allergens under the regulation, but questions guests ask.

Labels such as vegan

Vegan, vegetarian, spicy, popular, new, seasonal: as a small tag on the dish, coloured or plain, to match your design.

Symbols, not footnotes

No searching for the key on the last page. The symbol and its name sit right on the dish, for example milk or nuts.

From a spreadsheet too

If your allergens are already in a list, they come along in their own column with the CSV import. You don't have to open every dish one by one.

Once, in the catalogue

The details belong to the product, not the menu. If the burrata is on three menus, you maintain its allergens once.

How to get there

1

Open the product

Choose the dish under Products, or fill this in right away when you create it.

3

On every menu

The details appear straight away on every menu the dish is on.

And when you’re in a hurry

A vegan menu in one sentence

Once your labels are in place, a separate menu for guests who eat vegan takes just one sentence.

You write

„All vegan dishes on a menu of their own.“

Mino only uses what you’ve entered yourself. He never makes up prices, and your menu only goes live once you approve it.

Only what you'vemarked as vegan.

Frequently asked questions

Does MenuStudio detect allergens itself?

No, and that's deliberate. Allergens are too important to guess. Neither the photo import nor Mino adds allergens. You tick them, and you remain responsible for getting them right.

Is the digital menu enough to meet the information requirement?

That depends on how you provide the information and what your federal state requires. Many venues also keep a written overview to hand. If in doubt, ask your local food safety authority. This page is not legal advice.

Can I list additives?

There's no separate field for numbered additives. Many venues put them in the dish description.

Is this in every plan?

Yes, including the Gratis plan.
