Risk Assessment Description:

This free allergen management risk assessment template is designed for food service operators, kitchen managers and catering staff who need a quick, compliant way to assess the hazards associated with handling allergens. Whether you’re preparing meals for a restaurant, catering events, or running a canteen, this allergen risk assessment example provides pre‑filled hazards and control measures you can customise.

The template covers all key risks for allergen management, including inaccurate menu labeling, cross‑contamination during preparation, improper storage segregation, insufficient cleaning of equipment, and lack of staff training. It also addresses supplier verification, recipe changes, traceability, customer communication, and emergency response for anaphylaxis. Each hazard is linked to relevant legislation such as the Food Information Regulations 2014, Food Safety Act 1990 and the EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation retained in UK law.

Use this template for:

  • Menu and product development – ensure allergen information is accurate before launch.
  • Staff training sessions – provide clear, actionable controls for everyday work.
  • Compliance audits – demonstrate adherence to food safety legislation and industry best practice.

Each hazard includes suggested control measures covering proper labeling, segregation, cleaning procedures, supplier checks and emergency protocols. The risk matrix uses a standard 5×5 likelihood‑severity scoring, with controlled severity always matching the initial severity as required by HSE guidance.

Fully editable and shareable – customise hazards, add site‑specific risks, adjust control measures to match your conditions, then download as a PDF for records or share with your team.

Compliant with: Food Safety Act 1990, Food Information Regulations 2014, EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation (as retained in UK law).

The assessment also covers emerging challenges such as allergen management for online ordering and delivery services.
