ALLERGEN INFORMATION TABLE (TABELLA ALLERGENI) (Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011)
Business: Business name Item: Dish / product name
1. LEGAL BASIS 1.1. Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers requires that the presence of any of the 14 EU-regulated allergens be communicated to the customer. 1.2. Sanctions for non-compliance under D.lgs 231/2017 range €3,000-24,000.
2. THE 14 REGULATED ALLERGENS 2.1.

3. ALLERGENS PRESENT IN THIS ITEM 3.1. Allergens present
4. FORM OF INFORMATION 4.1. Form of information 4.2. ⚠️ Information must reach the customer BEFORE they order. Verbal information is allowed ONLY if a clear written reference is visible (e.g. "allergen information available from staff on request") AND staff can actually answer accurately from a written backing document — "just ask" with nothing written anywhere does not satisfy the requirement.
5. STAFF READINESS 5.1. Staff training note
6. RESPONSIBILITY AND UPDATES 6.1. Responsible person: Person responsible for keeping this up to date. Last updated: Last update date. 6.2. Last NAS/ASL inspection note: Last NAS/ASL inspection note 6.3. ⚠️ Update this table immediately whenever a recipe or supplier changes — an out-of-date allergen table is one of the most common findings during NAS/ASL inspections.
— — — ⚠️ This is a boilerplate template, not legal advice. Italian employment, food-safety, privacy and consumer-protection law (the applicable CCNL — e.g. CCNL Turismo-Pubblici Esercizi/Ristorazione e Turismo, FIPE-Confcommercio, renewed 05.06.2024, in force until 31.12.2027 — the Statuto dei Lavoratori L. 300/1970, D.lgs 81/2015, the "Decreto Trasparenza" D.lgs 104/2022 as softened by DL 48/2023, D.lgs 81/2008, Regulation (EC) No 852/2004, Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, the GDPR/Codice Privacy D.lgs 196/2003, the TULPS R.D. 773/1931 and the Codice del Consumo D.lgs 206/2005) is highly procedural, tied to fixed statutory calendars (comunicazione preventiva before every call-up, contestazione disciplinare timing, UNILAV deadlines, Alloggiati Web transmission windows) and changes frequently, with CCNL pay tables and sanction thresholds re-indexed periodically, and with some institutions (e.g. affitto di poltrona/cabina) still governed only by circolari and regional/ municipal rules rather than a single national law. Have this document reviewed and adapted by an Italian employment/legal advisor (avvocato giuslavorista / consulente del lavoro) and verified against the applicable CCNL, regional rules and current thresholds before use.
