I am trying to determine if online food retailers, supermarkets specifically, are required to provide allergen information on their websites for each food item. I'm hoping someone with legal expertise could tell me if the supermarkets NOT providing this information is a breach of the new legislation?
I am looking at the EU FIC 'Distance selling requirements' under section 14, which states "the requirements for those selling to consumers are that the consumer receives the same information when buying food at a distance as they do when buying in a retail environment. Therefore all mandatory food information must be available before the purchase is concluded and at the moment of delivery and must be available to the consumer at no extra cost. "
As the supermarket I use doesn't charge your account until after delivery, does this mean they are not in breach of the part 'available before the purchase is concluded' when their website doesn't provide any of the mandatory allergen information?
