The most common allergens in food have been defined in legislation, and there are regulations requiring the origins of manufacturing ingredients and additives to be reported when they belong to this group.

On packaging made in accordance with the new Consumer Information Regulation, all of the allergens appear in bold:

• Grain containing gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oats, spelt, Khorasan wheat and derivative products)
• Crustaceans and crustacean products
• Eggs and egg products
• Fish and fish products
• Peanuts and peanut products
• Soya beans and soya bean products, with the exception of completely clean soya bean oil
• Milk and milk products, including lactose
• Nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews, pecan nuts, Brazil nuts, pistachio nuts, macadamia nuts, Queensland nuts) and products containing nuts
• Celery and celery products
• Mustard and products containing mustard
• Sulphur dioxide and sulphites at concentrations of more than 10 mg/kg or 10 mg/litre expressed as SO2
• Lupin and lupin products

Gluten-free products can be identified by the gluten-free label on our packaging. Sufferers of coeliac disease should always read product labels carefully. Our range of foods contains plenty of gluten-free products, which can be found on our website by searching for foods for special diets.

Lactose-free products containing milk ingredients are labelled as lactose-free on Atria's packaging. Products that do not contain any milk-based ingredients are not labelled as lactose-free. However, such products are lactose-free and are suitable for lactose-free diets.

Low-lactose Atria products bear a marking declaring that they are low in lactose, and the amount of lactose is stated below the nutritional information table.

• Cayenne pepper
• Chilli
• Ginger
• Cinnamon
• Cardamom
• Coriander
• Caraway
