Information for consumers

Pre-packed foods

Any prepacked food or drink sold in the UK must clearly state on the label if it contains certain ingredients. The Food Standards Agency explains your food allergy rights - what the law means for you.

If you think that a food product has been labelled wrongly, report this to Trading Standards at Warwickshire County Council.
