Derived, not retyped
The allergens on a dish come from its ingredients and sub-recipes. Nobody types a dish's allergen list, so a recipe change updates every menu that uses it.
Each ingredient declaration names its source and the date it was reviewed. An ingredient without a review is flagged as unreviewed, so the gap is visible.
Caterfold tracks declared allergen information and its sources. Food-safety and allergen decisions stay with your team.
Your responsibility stays with you
