Recital 41
(41) Member States should retain the right, depending on local practical conditions and circumstances, to decide when and how to lay down rules in respect of the provision of information concerning non-prepacked foods. Although in such cases the consumer demand for other information is limited, information on potential allergens is considered very important. Evidence suggests that most food allergy incidents can be traced back toallergens in the case of non-prepacked food. Therefore such information should always be provided to the consumers.
