For families managing nut allergies and the organisations that serve them.
One clear sign for nut‑safe food, places and products.
Always Nut Free™ is a simple visual standard that tells people with peanut and tree nut allergies when they can safely relax, eat, and feel included.
Three colours. One promise: when you see the sign, you know exactly how nuts are managed in that food, facility, or premises.

How Always Nut Free™ works
A simple three‑step process for facilities and premises, built to sit alongside existing food safety systems in the UK, EU and USA.

We provide the mark, directory listing and basic guidance. You remain responsible for your allergen controls.Use the mark & appear in the directory
Add the icon to packaging, menus and shop windows, and appear in the Always Nut Free directory and app so families can find you.
Our data refreshes regularly so parents see your latest status.Three tiers, one global language
Always Nut Free is designed to be understood in any country: colour‑coded icons for quick recognition, and clear wording for those who want detail.
Nut Free Facility
For manufacturing and production sites that do not handle peanuts or tree nuts on site and operate nut‑free lines every day.
The blue triangle icon can be used on packaging, websites and sales materials to signal a nut‑free facility to buyers and parents.
Nut Free Premises
For cafés, restaurants, shops, schools and other venues that do not stock or serve nuts anywhere on the premises.
The green triangle icon appears on menus, doors and digital listings, helping families choose safer everyday places.
Always Nut Free
Our audited tier, designed for organisations that want deeper verification and ongoing review of their nut‑free systems.
The gold triangle icon will be reserved for audited sites that meet strict criteria, verified by independent partners.
Directory & app
One searchable database powering the Always Nut Free website and mobile app, so parents can scan, search and find nut‑free options quickly.
A single source of truth
Every registered facility and premises appears in our public directory. The same data powers the barcode‑scanner app, which checks whether a product or place is registered and at which tier.
Data and examples shown here are illustrative while we onboard the first cohort of registrants.
Built by people who live nut‑free
Always Nut Free started with one simple rule – never use nuts – and grew into a vision for a shared, global language around nut‑safe food and places.
Independent standard
We are a standalone organisation focused solely on nut‑free safety, working alongside existing food safety regulations and allergy charities.
Transparent by design
Criteria, tiers and marks are public. Registrants remain responsible for their own controls; misuse of the mark leads to removal.
Global ambition
Our first focus is the UK, EU and USA, but the standard is designed from day one to work in any country where nut allergies affect lives.
Why this matters
One symbol. Three colours. Clear meaning.
A growing everyday challenge
Nut allergies affect millions of people, and simple daily choices about food and places can carry uncertainty.
No clear visual language
Different labels, policies and signs make it difficult to quickly understand how nuts are managed.
A simple way to recognise safer places
Always Nut Free™ introduces one clear symbol system so people can recognise nut-safe environments at a glance.
