Declarable Allergens and Dietary Restrictions

Declarable Allergens and Dietary Restrictions are a key component of a Resident's Dietary Information.

Declarable Allergens and Dietary Restrictions affect Order Forms by blocking meals which are unsuitable for the Resident, based on the allergens or other allergies caused by underlying recipe ingredients. 

In our Catering module we differentiate these as follows:

Declarable Allergens

These are the 15 most common Declarable Allergens:

1. Animal Milk
2. Celery
3. Crustaceans
4. Eggs
5. Fish
6. Gluten (in wheat, oats, rye and barley)
7. Lupin
8. Molluscs
9. Mustard
10. Peanut
11. Sesame Seed
12. Soya
13. Sulphur dioxide and sulphites
14. Tree nuts
15. Wheat gluten (gliadin)

One or more of the above declarable allergens can be selected for a Resident by ticking the checkbox against the allergen's name.
