Collection: Food Allergy Signs

A food allergy sign is a front-of-house prompt that tells customers to speak to staff before they order. It sits alongside written allergen information and staff training; it does not replace them. Choose the format by where the sign will stand or hang.

What's in this collection

• Freestanding signs — Standard 74 × 112mm or Large 115 × 168mm, single or double-sided, on a removable base: without a logo or with your logo.
• A4 and A5 with an optional stand — for service counters and bakery displays: without a logo or with your logo.
• Hanging signs — four sizes from 102 × 74mm to 270 × 190mm with a jute string loop: the Food Allergy Notice or the hanging sign with your logo.
• Events — the Wedding Cake Food Allergy sign for cake tables and dessert displays.

Materials and rules in brief

All signs are made from FSC-certified 4mm oak veneered MDF, laser-engraved, for indoor use only, and orders are dispatched without plastic packaging. On the rules: Natasha's Law (1 October 2021) covers the labelling of prepacked-for-direct-sale food, not signs. For non-prepacked food, allergen information must be available to customers, verbally or in writing, and the Food Standards Agency's March 2025 best-practice guidance for England, Wales and Northern Ireland recommends that written allergen information is always available — so an "ask a member of staff" sign on its own is not considered sufficient. This is a summary, not legal advice: check the Food Standards Agency guidance or your local Environmental Health Officer.

Personalisation

The standard wording is engraved as shown, and you can enter your own wording in the personalisation box on every product. The logo versions have a logo upload button. Logos can be colour or black and white — we will convert colour logos for engraving. Proofs are not standard — ask in the personalisation box if you would like one.

Frequently asked questions

Does a food allergy sign meet the legal requirement on its own?
No. A sign prompts customers to speak to staff, but allergen information must also be available to them, and the Food Standards Agency recommends written allergen information is always available. Use the sign alongside your written information and staff training.

Which format suits my venue?
A freestanding sign suits a counter, till or table. An A4 or A5 sign with a stand suits a service counter or bakery display. A hanging sign suits a wall or kitchen hatch where a freestanding sign is not practical.

Single or double-sided?
Single-sided for a counter or till approached from one direction. Double-sided for an island counter, a buffet or a table read from both sides.

Can I add my own wording or list specific allergens?
Yes — enter your wording in the personalisation box, or choose Custom Text on the hanging signs. Leave the box blank for the standard wording.

Can I order branded signs across several sites?
Yes — choose a logo version, upload your logo once and add any site-specific wording in the personalisation box. Bulk discounts apply automatically from 20 of the same product.
