Pricora allergen matrix in 3 clicks: EU compliance
Keeping your allergen matrix current shouldn't take two hours every time you tweak the menu. Pricora generates it automatically in three clicks—from your live menu, no spreadsheets, no copy-paste.
Why compliance matters in 2026
EU Reg. 1169/2011 requires you to declare all 14 major allergens clearly and accessibly. In the UK, Natasha's Law adds labelling requirements for food packed on-site. Fines run between £5,000 and £20,000—and that's before reputational damage if a guest has a reaction.
Three clicks, zero headaches
Here's how it works in Pricora:
- Step 1: Tag each ingredient with its allergens—once.
- Step 2: Build your dishes and recipes as usual.
- Step 3: Export the full matrix as PDF or Excel—auto-updated every time you edit a dish.
No more out-of-sync spreadsheets. No more manual errors. The matrix regenerates in seconds.
Real cost vs. real risk
| Method | Time/month | Annual cost approx. |
|---|---|---|
| Manual spreadsheet | ~4 h | £960 (at £20/h) |
| Pricora (automated) | ~15 min | £0 (included) |
Practical tips
Tag ingredients, not dishes. That way, if you change a supplier or tweak a recipe, the matrix updates itself.
Check for traces. Many suppliers note "may contain"—add it to the ingredient record so it appears in every dish that uses it.
Share the matrix with front-of-house. Export the PDF and pin it in the service area—your team always has the latest version.
