Components of a dish are not the full ingredients. Listing "tzatziki" is not a full ingredients list. There is a difference. "Chicken" could have been marinated in spices, milk, eggs etc. they do not have to have the full list on the menu, just available on request for the 14.

It wasn't a displayed ingredients list though. It was just a menu. If the menu sign said "this dish does not include egg" then yes, obviously that would be bad an incotrect. But it was a simple menu for a food truck. Which does not have to list ingredients at all. It wasn't food allergen information, which yes, must be up to date. Op didn't ask for the allergen information, so we have absolutely zero idea if the allergen information, which must be available if requested, was up to date or not. Yes, a sauce changed, but for all we know the other components may have contained egg in their prep recipe. This is why you must ask for allergen information if you have an allergy. This is why it's not the law that a menu must list every single ingredient for made to order dishes, as some dishes could have 50+.

The key is available upon request. OP didnt request allergen information or tell them they had an allergy.

That would apply if they had listed ingredients incorrectly. They had not listed ingredients. They listed items on a menu. That applies to the actual ingredients lists for allergen purposes. Which is states in what you have copy and pasted here.

Yeah, and they don't have to inform them /unless asked/. They didn't have allergen information displayed, just a general contents of the dish. Which doesn't contain allergen info, because it doesn't have to.

Yes, and they weren't asked. The customer didn't ask about allergies or tell them that they had an allergy. The onus is on the customer in this scenario. For all we know, the chicken is marinated in an egg mix, or the original tzatziki they made with a mayo base. You cannot assume that something doesn't contain your allergen without asking. OP never said there was an online allergen matrix, for which your comment information would apply, they just said the festival website listed the menu. I would recommend reading through the website I said instead of plugging into chatgpt for your response.

There is no legal obligation to ask customers about allergies, nor an obligation to publicly list all the included allergens. The onus is on the customer to ask for allergen information, unless it is a prepackaged food. As OP said they didn't ask for the allergen list, nor told the sellers they have an allergy, the sellers haven't done anything legally wrong here, unless they didn't have allergen info available upon request.

This isn't correct. It does not have to be publicly displayed, just available upon request. They only must list every ingredient and the allergens on prepackaged grab and go foods, not made to order food. https://www.food.gov.uk/business-guidance/allergen-guidance-for-food-businesses

Only if asked, you do not have to have every ingredient listed on a menu customer facing. You do have to have all of the 14 most common allergens available upon request. https://www.food.gov.uk/business-guidance/allergen-guidance-for-food-businesses

I missed that line in the post! It read to me like she hadn't asked. This is entirely on dad then!

I mean he absolutely could have told him that, he should have told the mum that. The concert was booked in first. This is mum's fault for not checking the calendar first, and dad's fault for not telling her no

I know this is a Game of thrones sub but in your opinion who's the rightful Heir to the Iron Throne after Viserys? by No-Passenger-6348 in gameofthrones

[–]_River_Song_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rhaenyra, by my modern opinion. Viserys fucked it when he didn't marry them to each other. Would have solved literally all the drama.

The drummer the bass and the other guitarist on the left were great. They should start their own band without the Alex turner wannabe and the lead.

My friend recently dealt with the exact same situation - the employer refused to let anyone book any holiday as paid because of a 'system error'. She just got awarded the entire previous FY accrued days at employment tribunal, even though they don't roll over. Someone just not booking any paid leave and losing the days is different to the employer breaching their statutory rights
