The morning’s labels, from the morning’s batch

A bakery counter is PPDS at full stretch: dozens of lines wrapped each morning, a sausage roll beside the bread, wholesale customers asking what is in the loaf, and more than one pair of hands on the labels. Every wrapped line needs its full ingredients list with allergens emphasised, and it has to match what went in that morning.

What the law asks of a bakery

And how ProvenBatch helps you meet each one.

Every wrapped line needs a full PPDS label from that morning’s batch.

On every plan

Each label is built from the recipe and the exact packs that went in. Swap flour or margarine on the day and the label rebuilds from that pack’s declaration.

Loose counter bread and cakes still need allergen information in reach.

On every plan

Print allergen cards and an “Ask us about allergens” notice, or put up a QR code for your live allergen menu.

A hot cabinet must hold food at 63°C.

Pro

Record hot-holding on Pro, against the England Regs 2013 Schedule 4 figure, as part of the food safety diary.

A batch code on the pack traces back to the flour that went in.

On every plan

Every batch keeps what was printed, when, and from which packs, so a code on a bag is a real record.

The regulator's own guidance: FSA: allergen labelling changes for bakers.

Set up for a bakery from day one

Every business gets labels from the batch, the allergen matrix and cards, food safety records, and lot codes that trace.

For Bakery, these tools start on: Orders and customers, Trade and wholesale, Hot food, Process readings and weights.

Held until you switch them on: Markets and events, Opened packs, Selling other makers' food, Meat and approved premises, Selling online, Gift and selection boxes.

Questions

What if I swap flour on the morning?

Pick the pack that actually went in. The label, allergens included, rebuilds from that pack’s declaration, and you are warned if its allergens differ from your usual.

Can I change my business type later?

Yes. Settings holds the type, and you can change it. The tools you already use stay visible; anything newly relevant is offered, and you choose what to switch on.

Does ProvenBatch make my labels legally compliant?

No software can promise that, and you should be wary of any that does. Legal responsibility for a food label always rests with the food business operator: you. What ProvenBatch does is make it much harder to get wrong: labels are derived from your real data, uncertain batches are blocked rather than guessed, and everything is recorded so you can prove what you did.
