sauces, soups and fried foods which are dusted with flour.

Mustard

Liquid mustard, mustard powder and mustard seeds fall into this category.  



This ingredient can also be found in breads, curries, marinades, meat products, 

salad dressings, sauces and soups.

Nuts

 

Not to be mistaken with peanuts (which are actually a legume and grow underground),  



this ingredient refers to nuts which grow on trees, like cashew nuts, almonds and hazelnuts. 

You can find nuts in breads, biscuits, crackers, desserts, nut powders (often used in Asian 

curries), stir-fried dishes, ice cream, marzipan (almond paste), nut oils and sauces.

Peanuts


Peanuts are actually a legume and grow underground, which is why it’s 

sometimes called a groundnut. Peanuts are often used as an ingredient in 

biscuits, cakes, curries, desserts, sauces (such as satay sauce), as well as in 

groundnut oil and peanut flour.

Sesame seeds

These seeds can often be found in bread (sprinkled on hamburger  

buns for example), breadsticks, houmous, sesame oil and tahini.  

They are sometimes toasted and used in salads.

Soya

Often found in bean curd, edamame beans, miso paste, textured soya protein,  



soya flour or tofu, soya is a staple ingredient in oriental food. It can also be found  

in desserts, ice cream, meat products, sauces and vegetarian products.

Sulphur dioxide (sometimes known as sulphites)

This is an ingredient often used in dried fruit such as raisins, dried apricots 

and prunes. You might also find it in meat products, soft drinks, vegetables  

as well as in wine and beer. If you have asthma, you have a higher risk  

of developing a reaction to sulphur dioxide.

Allergens

The way allergens are labelled on prepacked foods has changed. The Food 

Information Regulation, which came into force in December 2014, introduced

a requirement that food businesses must provide information about the allergenic 

ingredients used in any food they sell or provide.

There are 14 major allergens which need to be mentioned (either on a label or through provided 

information such as menus) when they are used as ingredients in a food. Here are the allergens, and 

some examples of where they can be found:
