About AllergenKit
AllergenKit turns checked supplier information and recipes into paperwork a small food business can keep up with — labels, matrices, QR menus and records that stay in step with each other.
What it is
Two things. The free tools — an allergen matrix builder, a one-off food label maker, printable charts and posters — work with no account and keep your data in your browser. AllergenKit Pro (£9/month after a 7-day free trial) saves the reusable part: enter a supplier ingredient once, build and duplicate recipes, then keep labels, the allergen matrix, QR menu and records connected when something changes.
Why it exists
Since Natasha's Law in 2021, even the smallest food businesses carry real documentation duties — and the gap has never been willingness, it's admin time. Most connected software is built for larger operators. AllergenKit is the opposite bet: one fair monthly price, no contract and no sales calls. We are designing it first around cake sheds, home bakeries, microbakeries and market bakers with recurring products and recipe variations.
That focus is not a locked door. Cafés, delis, takeaways and other small UK food businesses can still use every free tool and the Pro workspace. Starting with one recognisable workflow simply helps us make better product and marketing decisions.
Who's behind it
AllergenKit is built and run by Common Measure, a UK sole-trader software studio. Proprietor and contact details are available on request — email hello@allergenkit.co.uk and a human (not a ticket system) reads and answers it.
Where responsibility sits
We're careful about this, because it matters: AllergenKit provides the format — the matrices, labels and registers laid out the way UK rules expect. It does not and cannot know what's in your food. The allergen facts are yours, checking supplier labels on every reorder is yours, and compliance with food law stays with your business. The terms say this plainly, and every printable we produce reminds you of it.
The quiet parts
- Your data stays yours — the free tools never upload what you type, and we never sell data or run ads. We use analytics to understand what helps and to improve the product.
- Your account data lives in a UK-region (London) database, and payments are handled by Stripe — card details never touch our servers.
- No card for the trial, cancel anytime — and your records are always yours to print or export, even if you stop subscribing.
- Founding-member pricing: the price you join at is the price you keep.
