## Description

On 1 October 2021 new pre-packed for direct sale \(PPDS\) allergen labelling requirements came into effect in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland\. This change meant that PPDS foods must be labelled with a full list of ingredients, with allergens2 emphasised\. We are looking to commission a contractor who can design and deliver a mixed method evaluation of these new requirements\. The evaluation should engage three key stakeholder groups to build a holistic picture of the new labelling requirements' effects: - consumers with food hypersensitivities \(FHS consumers\), who were the intended beneficiaries of the changes\. - food business operators \(FBOs\), who are responsible for implementing the changes within their businesses\. - local authorities \(LAs\), who are responsible for monitoring FBO compliance with food safety regulations, of which PPDS is one part\.
