EU allergens rule to send cost of eating out rocketing

THE cost of eating out is about to rocket thanks to a European edict on food allergens due to come into force at the end of the year.

As exclusively revealed in The Sun this week, Restaurants, cafes and other venues serving food are currently “in crisis” rushing to prepare for stringent rules which take effect in December.

All businesses including hotels, pubs, takeaways, and motorway service stations will be required to record, label and track all foods which could contain any of 14 allergens.
