New Food Allergen Declaration

What are the new changes?

To ensure that we continue to provide accurate information for you to make safe meal choices, we have updated our declaration of food allergens present in our meals to align with the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) new 2024 allergen labelling rules.

Our Allergen Notice and Allergen Declaration Cards have been updated to provide clearer and specified declaration of food allergens in our meals.

The main change you might have noticed is the introduction of Wheat as a new separate allergen in our declaration cards.

Other changes include:

• Shellfish allergen includes both mollusc and crustacean

• Treenuts allergen includes the nine common treenuts (almond, Brazil nut, cashew, hazelnut, macadamia, pecan, pistachio, walnut & pine nut)

• Milk is listed alongside dairy allergen

What does this mean for you?

Our Saints kitchen team will continue to ensure all dietary requirements are safely catered for, to the best of our abilities.

During meal service:

• Check out our new Allergen Notice around the servery to better understand the diverse range of allergens we handle in our kitchen, and through the products with source from our suppliers.

• Continue checking the new Allergen Declaration Card on display at the serveries before meal selection.

• If you are unsure of what to have, or have any questions about the meals, do not hesitate to ask one of our staff!

Please note that:

• Due to the nature of self-service stations (i.e., salad and carbohydrate stations) there is a risk of cross-contamination.

• If you do have a dietary requirement (e.g., food allergies), please head to the dietary station to request for meals and salads that will be separately plated for you.

If you would like more information, also check out our blog on terminology changes in our menus.

 We take food allergies seriously and will do our best to ensure all dietary requirements are accommodated.
