    Henderson Group partners food tech firm ADC to support Natasha’s Law regulations

    Henderson Group, which owns the SPAR, EUROSPAR, and ViVO brands in Northern Ireland, has announced a new partnership with Applied Data Corporation (ADC), the leading global provider of store operations platforms built for grocery and convenience retailers.

    With the Natasha Law regulations being the key focus of the partnership, the retailer will use ADC’s fresh item management platform for recipe management and label printing. The new allergen law, which takes effect from October this year in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, requires that pre-packed food for direct sale clearly display and emphasise allergen ingredient information.

    “We are excited to partner with the Henderson Group. Their long history in the industry coupled with ADC’s FreshIQ platform will provide their customers with compliant nutrition food labels they can trust,” Shamus Hines, ADC chief executive, said.

    FreshIQ will enable the Henderson Group to stay compliant with the new regulations. The platform is an easy-to-use, cloud-based solution that includes recipe management to identify and track necessary ingredients and nutritional information and label printing to support design, customisation, and legally compliant printing of fresh food labels.

    “As a food retailer, it is our responsibility to provide customers with the information they need regarding allergens and the food they consume,” Darren Nickels of the Henderson Group commented. “The nature of food retail is complex, and it is critical that the technology we use helps us build, track, and maintain legally compliant recipes across our organisation.”

    Henderson Group is now fully live with FreshIQ, providing customers with compliant food labels prior to Natasha’s Law coming into effect on 1 October.
