   2. Ahead of your visit, you can find allergen information on all of our products here. When you order F&B from us, we kindly ask you to inform our staff of any allergies you (or anyone in your party) may have, so that we are best placed to help you with your order.
   3. How we supply allergen information to you depends on how we serve the F&B to you.
      
      
      1. Pre-Packed for Direct Sale (PPDS)
         
         In accordance with “Natasha’s Law”, all F&B we prepare and then package onsite at our Cinemas will be labelled with the product name and ingredients (with any of the 14 primary allergens present in bold). 
         
         
      2. F&B sold unpackaged or loose
         
         All F&B that is sold loose, without any packaging prior to sale,  will have its allergen information available verbally.    
                       
      3. F&B pre-packaged by our suppliers
         
         With the exception of single-ingredient products (e.g. bottled water) and alcohol (see the Nutrition section below), our suppliers label their products with all ingredients and highlight allergens in bold.
         We take no responsibility for the accuracy of these labels.
         
         If in doubt, our staff will have allergen info for all of our products available, so please ask them if you have any questions.

6. Preparing your F&B
   
   Whilst we take every reasonable measure to frequently clean our preparation areas, our F&B products may be prepared in the same environment as other products which may contain allergens.
   As a result, we cannot completely remove the risk of cross-contamination, and cannot guarantee that any of our F&B items will not contain trace amounts of a specific allergen. Consequently:
   1. We cannot guarantee that any of our products are Gluten Free, even if the ingredients do not contain gluten;
   2. Our ‘Vegan-friendly’ products may not be suitable for customers with a dairy or egg allergy.
