Stock cubes often hide celery.

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

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?
