Putting this into practice in New Zealand

Build your routines around the food control plan or national programme that applies to your New Zealand business. For cafes using MPI's Simply Safe & Suitable template, the selected cards and your registered activities determine the work. Keep the completed checks and supporting methods ready for your verifier.

MPI: using a Simply Safe & Suitable food control plan

Follow substitutions through the menu chart and the instructions available to front-of-house staff. Retain the version reviewed for publication.
Apply the allergen-handling methods in the business's plan alongside the ingredient chart. Cross-contact controls and customer conversations still need an informed team.

What it does

NZ declaration vocabulary: Record individual nuts, wheat, gluten and the other required allergens. Check added sulphites at 10 mg/kg or more against supplier information.
Reviewed versions: Staff see the published version, with its reviewer and date. Export a PDF or share the current information from the phone.
Assess cross-contact: Record precautionary statements after assessing the risk. Keep recipes and supplier evidence current when ingredients change.
Menu board: Mark a dish sold out or running low for today and every phone, the web and the kitchen tablet show the same board. Items come from the allergen matrix, so nothing is typed twice, and a new day starts clean.
Supplier changes and dish review: Save supplier specifications and link ingredients or dishes. See dishes affected by a specification change, record each review and retain the earlier evidence. Published allergen information changes only through the separate matrix review workflow. Available on web and mobile with an internet connection.
