Natasha's Law and allergen declarations

Why every prepared dish needs its 14-allergen declaration before it can be published.

1 min readReviewed 15/05/2026

Natasha's Law (the Food Information Amendment Regulations 2019) requires every Pre-Packed for Direct Sale (PPDS) food item to carry a full ingredient list with the 14 allergens emphasised.

On Ghochen Partners this is enforced at publish time. If a product has a prep time set, it counts as prepared and you must declare at least one allergen group (or explicitly confirm "none of the listed allergens" — that's what an empty selection plus a published flag means).

The 14 allergens we track: celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, peanuts, sesame, soya, sulphites, and tree nuts.

If you're unsure: declare anything that's plausibly in the dish, including traces from your kitchen. The customer-side filters use the same list so a customer with a milk allergy never sees a dish where you've declared milk.

Storefront notes: the "Allergen disclaimer" textarea under /storefront/policies is for kitchen-wide caveats — "Our kitchen handles all 14 allergens", or "We share fryers between vegetarian and fish".
