Allergen matrix

Set up records for the authority that regulates your US establishment. The FDA Food Code is a model used by state and local jurisdictions, with different editions and amendments in force. Choose the site's state, review the local requirements, and connect person-in-charge reviews to the actual food processes.

1. Review US menu requirements separately from the app's shared 14-category matrix, which is not a dedicated US declaration tool. Keep bought-in bread, dressings and sauces in the ingredient review rather than relying on the menu item's name.
2. Trace ingredient substitutions through the menu matrix and service-team instructions. Separate the ingredients present in the recipe from the assessment of cross-contact during preparation.
3. Check the jurisdiction's restaurant disclosure and training requirements separately from packaged-food labelling. A customer PDF is a communication aid, not a universal retail label.

1. Open Allergens and add your menu items.
2. Check off 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.

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.
