The Fox Excel guide to Allergens

Handy visual guide to allergens in our food

We understand that allergies and food intolerances must be taken seriously.

An estimated 2.4 million adults in the UK have a diagnosed food allergy and more than 30% of adults report living with symptoms of food hypersensitivity (FSA May 2024)so it is vitally important that you know what allergens are in your food. We publish a handy visual guide to our allergens on our website. This clear guide helps you to quickly identify key allergens and is designed to help keep you safe and healthy.

Our visual guide makes identifying allergens quickly and accurately

We have partnered with an expert team who help us to identify and consistently communicate allergens and nutritional information about our dishes. We use common icons to indicate which allergens are present or may be present in specified dishes - this means you can see at a glance and find the information that you need.
