Every supplier specification and allergen declaration, version-controlled and audit-ready by default.
Allergen & Spec Management exists because an out-of-date specification is one of the quietest risks in a food business: nothing about it looks wrong until an audit, an incident, or a customer complaint forces someone to check. Email-based spec management makes that worse: the “latest” version is whatever happened to land in the right inbox last. Food Trace’s Allergen & Spec Management replaces that with a single, version-controlled source of truth for every supplier product specification and allergen declaration, in line with FSA allergen guidance for food businesses.
Every allergen declaration is version-controlled and retained, giving full traceability across every supplier product for any audit or incident investigation. When a specification or allergen status changes, suppliers and internal teams are notified immediately, so outdated information doesn’t sit unnoticed.
Food Trace customers complete allergen and spec reviews in an average of 72 hours, a fraction of the time typical email-based workflows take, while covering all 14 major UK allergens and maintaining alignment with Natasha’s Law, BRCGS standards and retailer codes of practice.
Specification and allergen data connects directly to document control, supplier audits and product labelling, so a change in one place is reflected everywhere it matters, with annual resubmission prompts keeping allergen declarations current by default rather than by chase.
Food Trace is trusted by UK food brands including Selfridges, Itsu, Fortnum & Mason and Harvey & Brockless. Read more about Allergen & Spec Management or book a free demo.

When a specification changes and the update does not reach everyone who needs it, the risk is not hypothetical. It shows up as a product made against an old recipe, an allergen declaration nobody updated, or a technical review that quietly gets skipped because nobody was sure who owned it. Version control turns that into a non-issue: there is one current specification, everyone sees the same one, and every previous version stays on record for whenever it needs to be checked again.
