The matrix helps you give the information Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 requires; what each dish contains, traces included, remains the venue's responsibility.
Allergens inside the menu, not on a separate sheet
A chart has to be reprinted every time the menu changes. In the digital menu the information always stays in step.
Allergens on every dish
In Takeat every dish carries its allergens: guests see them while they choose, without having to ask.
The menu filters by allergen
A guest with an allergy hides the dishes that contain it and finds the right ones straight away.

Frequently asked questions
What are the 14 allergens I have to declare?
The ones in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 1169/2011: cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soybeans, milk, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame seeds, sulphur dioxide and sulphites, lupin, molluscs.
Does a restaurant have to declare allergens?
Yes. Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 requires guests to be told about the allergens in the dishes, non-prepacked food included, and in Italy Legislative Decree 231/2017 sets the penalties. A written chart, on the menu or available to guests, is the simplest way to do it.
Do I have to declare traces too?
Traces from cross-contamination are not among the Regulation's requirements, but flagging them to people with allergies is good practice and protects the venue. You can add them in a note or tell guests directly.
