Who it affects

Restaurants, food service businesses, caterers, and hospitality operators in the UK.

What it requires

Owen's Law proposes mandatory written allergen information per dish at the point of ordering — without customers having to ask. QR codes on menus linking to live allergen data are the accepted delivery mechanism. The FSA issued best practice guidance in March 2025; formal legislation is still advancing through UK Parliament.

How QRStandard helps

QR on printed menu or table card linking to live allergen data. Update when recipes change — without reprinting menus. One QR per venue, managed from the dashboard. No customer data collection.

What you get

The infrastructure behind every compliant QR code

PrintOnce Redirect

Print once. Update forever.

The QR code is affixed to the product at the factory. The URL behind it is managed from your dashboard. Your documentation server changes — the code on the product does not.

Document Hosting

Upload your document. No server needed.

Attach a PDF manual, safety datasheet, or certificate directly to the QR code. No external hosting required — your document is stored in the EU and served instantly on scan.

Audit Trail

Every change logged for inspection.

Every destination change is recorded: timestamp, previous URL, new URL, and the user who made it. Export as CSV for regulatory inspection documentation in seconds. Immutable by design.

Bulk Generation

Thousands of codes. One CSV upload.

Upload serial numbers and destination URLs. Download a ZIP of print-ready QR codes. No per-scan fees — ever. No infrastructure to maintain on your side.
