What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionOn 1 October 2021 new pre-packed for direct sale (PPDS) allergen labelling requirements came into effect in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. This change meant that PPDS foods must be labelled with a full list of ingredients, with allergens2 emphasised.
We are looking to commission a contractor who can design and deliver a mixed method evaluation of these new requirements. The evaluation should engage three key stakeholder groups to build a holistic picture of the new labelling requirements’ effects:
- consumers with food hypersensitivities (FHS consumers), who were the intended beneficiaries of the changes.
- food business operators (FBOs), who are responsible for implementing the changes within their businesses.
- local authorities (LAs), who are responsible for monitoring FBO compliance with food safety regulations, of which PPDS is one part.
