Ingredients & Allergens Policy

Ingredients & Allergens Policy

At Sprinkly, we aim to be as clear and transparent as possible about the ingredients and allergens used in our edible cake decorations and sprinkles.

This page provides general guidance only. Customers should always refer to the individual product page for the most accurate and up-to-date ingredient information.


Not a Free-From Site

Sprinkly is not a free-from site.

We handle and pack products that contain allergens, and our suppliers and manufacturers also handle allergens within their facilities. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that any product is free from allergen cross-contamination.


Allergens

We always clearly highlight any allergens that are intentionally included in a product’s ingredients list. These allergens are shown in bold on individual product pages in line with UK food labelling requirements.

However, due to shared handling environments, all products should be considered “may contain” allergens.

May contain:

  • Gluten (wheat)

  • Milk

  • Soya

  • Eggs

  • Peanuts

  • Nuts

  • Fish

  • Lupin

  • Mustard

  • Sulphites

If you have a severe allergy or intolerance, we recommend that you do not consume our products unless you have contacted us first and are satisfied with the information provided.

For specific allergen queries, please contact us at:
