Wheat, milk, egg and soya commonly share one short label.

Is this PPDS?

If this item is packed on your premises before the customer chooses it, treat it as PPDS: name + full ingredients with allergens emphasised.

Questions

Is this always PPDS?

Only if it is packed before selection and sold by the same business from the same premises or location. Packed to order is different.

Can I copy this label exactly?

Use it as a teaching example. Your supplier specs and recipe weights must drive your real label.
