Allergens & Special Diets - Secondary Schools

We are a “Nut Aware” company and we don’t include either tree nuts or peanuts as an ingredient in any of our dishes; however, we cannot guarantee that our food offer is totally Nut Free as some of the products we serve carry a precautionary MAY CONTAINS nuts allergen declaration which is added by the manufacturer.

Any of the 14 regulated allergens, both Contains & May Contains will be clearly identified on our daily counter menus or menu screens, to enable our customers to make an informed choice about what they can choose at the point of service.

A separate plated meal will be provided for pupils with severe or complex multiple allergies to ensure their safety and our nutrition team can provide accurate carb counted meals for pupils who require them.

Our catering & nutrition teams are always available to discuss pupil requirements with parents should this be required.

In full compliance with Natasha's Law (PPDS), all pre-packaged foods are clearly labelled, providing a full list of ingredients with the 14 regulated allergens present highlighted in bold, providing complete transparency and reassurance for pupils and parents alike.

In-line with Benedict’s Law our catering teams carry out annual allergen awareness training, which includes how to respond to an emergency.
