Region and business

Required names are bold in the ingredients, followed by a summary statement that starts with "Contains". Tag barley, oats and rye only if they contain gluten, and wheat always. Sulphites are declared when added at 10 mg/kg or more. Food sold without a label still needs this information shown with it or on request. Based on Food Standards Code Standard 1.2.3 and Schedule 9. Verify against your local rules. Last verified 2026-11-08. FSANZ: Allergen labelling

Plain English Allergen Labelling

Plain English Allergen Labelling (PEAL) has applied to food labelled in Australia and New Zealand since 25 February 2024. Allergens are declared using required names in bold in the ingredients list, and in a summary statement that starts with Contains.

How the summary statement works

Filero builds the statement from your tags, for example "Contains wheat, gluten, milk, almond." Barley, oats and rye containing gluten show as gluten in the statement. Wheat shows as wheat and gluten. Each tree nut is named on its own.

Food made where it is sold

Food made and packaged on the premises where it is sold usually does not need a full label, but the allergen information must still be shown with the food or given on request. A clear label is one way to do that.

A4 label sheets

Choose Avery L7160 (21 labels), L7163 (14 labels) or L7165 (8 labels), or set your own size. Print the test page on plain paper at 100% and hold it against your sheet before you print a full sheet.

Frequently asked questions

When did PEAL start?

The rules were gazetted on 25 February 2021 with a three-year transition, so they have applied since 25 February 2024.

Why does barley show as gluten?

Schedule 9 of the Food Standards Code says barley, oats and rye containing gluten are declared as gluten in the summary statement. Wheat is declared as wheat and gluten.

Which label sheets can I print on?

Avery L7160, L7163 and L7165 on A4, or your own custom size. Print the test page on plain paper first to check the alignment.

Does Filero check my recipes?

No. This tool formats the allergen information you enter. It does not check recipes or ingredients, and it never guesses allergens from ingredient names. You are responsible for accuracy.
