Allergen matrix

Build the allergen matrix per dish, mark may-contain risks, and publish a customer-facing version.

Last updated 3 July 2026

Build the matrix

  1. Open Allergens and add your menu items.
  2. Tick the allergens each item contains as an ingredient.
  3. Where a risk assessment supports it, mark may-contain for cross-contamination risks — shown separately from contains.
The internal cross-contact note is for your team only — it is never printed on the customer version.

Publish and share

Publishing creates a clean, versioned customer-facing view. Each published version is kept, so you always have a record of what was shown and when. Download it as a PDF or print the chart straight from the page.

You maintain the matrix and remain responsible for its accuracy — ProCafe keeps it organised, versioned and exportable.
