How It Works in Practice
Bakeries and patisseries face some of the strictest food labelling requirements in the UK. Since Natasha's Law, every item that's prepared on-site and packaged before sale (cakes, pastries, sandwiches, cookies) must carry a full allergen label. For bakeries producing hundreds of items daily, this is a significant operational challenge.
The traditional approach is unsustainable. Staff write labels by hand, photocopy allergen lists, and try to keep up with seasonal specials that change the allergen profile of every product. When an ingredient supplier changes, updating every handwritten label becomes near impossible. The risk of error grows with every new product line.
LabelFood solves this at the source. Your product catalogue, covering every cake, pastry, bread, and sandwich you make, lives in the cloud with its own allergen profile. When staff need a label, they scan the barcode and it prints automatically: product name, all 14 allergens highlighted, use-by date, batch code, and a QR code. No handwriting, no guesswork.
For morning prep, the busiest time in any bakery, batch print handles the volume. Select the products being baked today, set quantities, and the device prints all labels in sequence. Your display cabinet, grab-and-go section, and wholesale orders are labelled and compliant before the shop opens.
Seasonal and custom products are easy to manage. Add a new Christmas cake or Easter special from the cloud dashboard in seconds: set the name, allergens, and shelf life, and it's immediately available to print on every paired device. Wedding cakes and bespoke orders get their own product entries with specific allergen profiles and batch codes for traceability.
Display cabinet labels serve double duty. Customers see allergens clearly at a glance, and the QR code gives them full ingredient details on their phone. This reduces the repetitive allergen questions your counter staff deal with every day, freeing them to serve customers faster.
Waste tracking helps you run a tighter operation. Record unsold items, expired products, and production waste by reason. The cloud dashboard shows trends over time, including which products waste most and which days are worst, so you can adjust production quantities and reduce costs.
The device works fully offline, which matters in bakeries where WiFi can be patchy. Labels print and waste records are stored locally, then sync to the cloud when connectivity returns. Staff PIN protection and a full audit trail keep you inspection-ready for every EHO visit.
For a shop with a counter, the Food Hygiene Rating is on public display as well as on the FSA website, and customers do look. One of the three areas an Environmental Health Officer scores is confidence in management: whether the records behind your date labelling, allergen control and waste are there to be produced on request. A bakery turning out hundreds of items a day cannot reconstruct that from memory, but it does not need to. Every label printed and every tray written off is logged as it happens, and exports to a PDF in a few clicks.

Every tray that comes off the rack gets the same label in seconds — allergens in bold, use-by worked out from the shelf life you set once. What sits in the counter display stops depending on what anyone remembers.
A label costs under 1p. Handwriting it costs hours every week.
£325 a year, or £32/month rolling
Every cake, pastry, and baked item gets a compliant label with all 14 allergens highlighted, use-by date, batch code, and QR code. Natasha's Law compliant by default.
Print dozens of labels in one go during morning prep. Select products, set quantities, and the device prints them all in sequence. No more repeating the same task 50 times.
Baked goods made fresh daily are Prep products, with full allergen labels and Natasha's Law compliant. Retail items and packaged goods for display are Sales products with a separate label flow. Set the type once per product; the device handles the rest.
Record unsold pastries, expired items, and production waste by reason. See trends across your bakery to reduce waste and improve stock planning.
Customers scan the QR code on display items to see full ingredients and allergen info on their phone. Great for display cabinets and counter sales.
Full audit trail of every label printed and waste recorded. Export reports for Environmental Health Officer inspections. Compliance at your fingertips.
Official Label Rolls
Most kitchens try third-party rolls first. They jam, they tear on removal, and they don't hold in cold storage.
Our rolls are made specifically for the LabelFood Printer SV2 — tested in real kitchen conditions, with a removable adhesive that stays put in the freezer and peels cleanly every time. At 0.87p per label, they also cost significantly less than ordering custom labels from a supplier. See how the cost compares →
Print stays sharp in cold displays, fridges, and hot prep surfaces. No fading or smearing mid-service.
Made to fit the LabelFood printer exactly. No jams, no mis-feeds, no wasted labels.
