Maintaining accurate allergen documentation is critical for restaurants, caterers, and commercial kitchens serving the public.

An allergen matrix is a chart or table used by food service businesses to track and display which of the mandatory allergens are present in each menu item.
The matrix must be updated immediately whenever a recipe is changed, a new dish is added to the menu, or a supplier changes the ingredients in a delivered product.
The major US allergens are milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame.
While the exact format varies, UK and EU regulations mandate that food businesses provide accurate, verifiable allergen information for non-prepacked foods, making a matrix the industry standard compliance method.
