PPDS Label Template (Natasha's Law)
Printable PDF
7 sections included

Food you pre-pack on site for direct sale has to carry a full label under Natasha's Law, which means the name of the food, a complete ingredient list with the allergens emphasised, and storage and use-by information. This printable template lays out a compliant label so you can fill in each field by hand or as a starting point before you move to a generated label.

Why you need this

Natasha's Law requires full ingredient and allergen labelling on food pre-packed for direct sale (PPDS)
The 14 allergens must be emphasised within the ingredient list, usually in bold
A missing or vague label is exactly what an EHO officer flags on a PPDS check
Hand-written allergen advice on a sticker no longer meets the legal standard
A clear label layout reduces the chance of an allergen being left off in a rush

What's included

Name of the food field at the top of the label
Full ingredient list in descending weight order
The 14 allergens emphasised within the ingredient list
Storage instructions line (for example, keep refrigerated)
Use-by date field
Business name line for traceability
Guidance note on what PPDS means and when it applies

How to use this template

1

Confirm the food is PPDS

Check it is packed on the premises before being ordered, such as a sandwich made in the morning for the chilled cabinet.

2

List ingredients in weight order

Write every ingredient from the recipe in descending order of weight, including the components of any made-up item.

3

Emphasise the allergens

Make every one of the 14 allergens stand out in the list, in bold, so it cannot be missed.

4

Add storage and use-by

Complete the storage instruction and use-by date, then attach the label to the pack before it goes out for sale.

Tips for getting the most from this template

Emphasise the allergen word itself, so write wheat (gluten) in bold rather than the whole line
Break down compound ingredients, because a sauce can hide mustard, celery, or egg
Use-by, not best-before, applies to the chilled high-risk items that are usually PPDS
Reprint the label whenever the recipe or a supplier ingredient changes
Paddl's PPDS label generator builds a compliant label from your recipe and emphasises the allergens automatically
