In this guide, we show you how to easily add allergens to your products.
There are two different ways to do this:
Add allergens at the product level for meals with a consistent allergen profile
If a product consistently does not contain certain allergens (e.g., always gluten-free), we recommend adding the allergen information directly when creating the product in the Menu Module.
This method works well for items that keep the same allergen profile each week because:
The allergen information appears automatically on the menu
You avoid adding it manually each time
You reduce the risk of mistakes or missing information

Add allergens directly to the menu for meals with varying allergen profiles
For products whose allergens vary weekly (e.g., “Main Meal” with changing recipes), add the allergen information when updating the weekly menu. This method provides flexibility and allows you to customize allergen details based on each week's specific offerings.

Want to check if everything is correct?
Before you publish your menu, you can use Allergen Control to ensure all allergen information has been added correctly.
Allergen Control helps you:
See if any dishes are missing allergen information
Make sure your menu is complete and accurat
Avoid mistakes and keep your guests well-informed
You’ll find Allergen Control in the Menu Tab, where it gives you a simple overview of the week and highlights any missing details.
Using this tool is the easiest way to make sure your allergen information is 100% up to date before publishing.
