Big 9 allergen matrix
Blank working template · Complete and review before use
C = Contains · M = May contain
Until review, every blank is unreviewed. After a row is marked “Reviewed,” a blank means the allergen was not listed in the reviewed records. It is never proof of absence or a guarantee that a dish is safe for a particular guest.

1. Check the source. Review current ingredient labels, supplier information, complete recipes and every compound ingredient. Record the source and its version or date. Assess each variant separately.
2. Check preparation. Review shared equipment, utensils, frying oil and handling with the kitchen team. Use C or M only when supported by the review. Keep “Needs review” until every allergen column and preparation detail has been checked.
