Bake it. Prove it.
You started baking, not doing admin. If you pack what you sell, Natasha’s Law applies to your kitchen exactly as it applies to a supermarket: the full ingredients list, allergens emphasised, on every label. Made-to-order sold at a distance still needs that list before the customer buys. A chilled cake needs a Use by, not a Best before.

What the law asks of a home baker
And how ProvenBatch helps you meet each one.
Food packed before it is ordered needs a full PPDS label.
On every plan
Each label is derived from the batch: the recipe and the exact packs that went in, allergens emphasised.
Made-to-order sold at a distance still needs the ingredients list before the customer buys.
On every plan
The same derived label is the list you send with the order confirmation and again with the cake.
A chilled cake needs a Use by, not a Best before.
On every plan
Set the date wording per product, switchable on a batch, so perishables carry the wording the law expects.
Anything sold unwrapped still needs allergen information to hand.
On every plan
Print allergen cards and an “Ask us about allergens” notice, or share a QR code for your live allergen menu.
The regulator's own guidance: FSA: allergen labelling changes for bakers.

Questions
Do I need to register as a food business?
Yes, with your local authority, usually 28 days before you start selling. ProvenBatch keeps the records that sit behind the labels; registration itself is with the council.
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.
