Food businesses must tell their customers if any food they provide contains any of the allergens listed by the Food Standards Agency as an ingredient and we take our responsibilities very seriously.
Our website lists all the ingredients of our meat products, with any allergens highlighted in bold, and our product labelling does the same.
Customers may be allergic or have intolerance to other ingredients, but only 14 allergens are required to be declared as allergens by food law.
The 14 allergens are: celery, cereals containing gluten (such as wheat, barley and oats), crustaceans (such as prawns, crabs and lobsters), eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs (such as mussels and oysters), mustard, peanuts, sesame, soybeans, sulphur dioxide and sulphites (if the sulphur dioxide and sulphites are at a concentration of more than ten parts per million) and tree nuts (such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, brazil nuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios and macadamia nuts).
This also applies to additives, processing aids and any other substances which are present in the final product.
While we avoid the use of as many allergens as we can, we must advise that food sold on our premises may have come into contact with peanuts, tree nuts, soybeans, milk, eggs, wheat, shellfish or fish and the other declared allergens.
Please contact us by email on info@theartisanbutcher.com or ask our shop manager if you have any queries or would like more information. Thank you.
