ALLERGEN NOTICE (AFFICHAGE DES ALLERGÈNES) (Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 "INCO" + décret n°2015-447)
Establishment: Item:
1. LEGAL BASIS 1.1. Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers ("INCO") requires that the presence of any of 14 regulated allergens be communicated to the consumer. 1.2. Décret n°2015-447 sets out how this applies in France to food sold non-prepackaged (vente en vrac / à consommer sur place) — including restaurant, café, hotel breakfast, and food-shop items: WRITTEN information must be available, at or near the point of sale, listing the allergens actually present in each dish or product.
2. THE 14 REGULATED ALLERGENS 2.1. Cereals containing gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oats, spelt, kamut) · Crustaceans · Eggs · Fish · Peanuts · Soybeans · Milk (including lactose) · Tree nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews, pecans, Brazil nuts, pistachios, macadamia) · Celery · Mustard · Sesame seeds · Sulphur dioxide and sulphites (>10 mg/kg or mg/L) · Lupin · Molluscs.
3. ALLERGENS PRESENT IN THIS ITEM 3.1.
4. WHERE THIS INFORMATION IS DISPLAYED 4.1. 4.2. ⚠️ If the full written list is not printed directly on the menu, a clearly visible note must direct the customer to where the written information can be consulted (board, binder, or on request) — "ask your server" alone, with nothing written, does not satisfy the requirement.
5. STAFF READINESS 5.1.
6. RESPONSIBILITY AND UPDATES 6.1. Responsible person: . Last updated: . 6.2. ⚠️ Update this notice immediately whenever a recipe or supplier changes — an out-of-date allergen notice is one of the most common and highest-risk findings during DDPP (Direction départementale de la protection des populations) inspections.
This is a boilerplate template, not legal advice. French employment, consumer-protection and data-protection law (Code du travail, Convention collective HCR "CCN HCR", Code de la consommation, RGPD/CNIL, Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 "INCO") is highly procedural, includes fixed statutory calendars (e.g. the entretien préalable and rupture conventionnelle timelines) and changes frequently — statutory figures (SMIC, grille HCR, sanction amounts) are re-indexed periodically. Have this document reviewed and adapted by a French employment/legal advisor (avocat en droit du travail / expert-comptable) and verified against the current rates before use. Under the loi Toubon (Law No. 94-665 of 4 August 1994), documents intended for use in France — employment contracts, consumer information, mandatory workplace notices — must be available in French; where a French-language version of this document is also used, that version prevails in case of conflict.
