- Photo scan ingredient lists from real packaging
- Bulk upload packs for one recipe, not one photo at a time

- Keep an allergen matrix across the products you sell
- Print on compatible printers, including Munbyn label printing
From packs to label in three steps
Photo the packs
Scan the ingredients list on each pack for a recipe you sell. Use bulk upload when you have several packs ready.
Check the text
Review what was read against the real packaging. You stay responsible for accuracy before you sell.
Print your label
Build the allergen ingredient label for that product and print when you're happy with it.
Allergens list, matrix and Natasha's Law
Since October 2021, food that is prepacked for direct sale (PPDS) in the UK must generally carry a full ingredients list with the 14 major allergens clearly emphasised. That can include home-baked cakes prepared and packed before the customer selects them, including many cake shed and stall setups.
BakeSafe helps you build that allergens list from what is printed on your packs, and keeps an allergen matrix of your products so you can see allergens across what you sell. You work from packaging rather than memory. It supports your record-keeping; it does not replace your own checks.

Frequently asked questions
Is there free food labelling for cake makers?
BakeSafe has a free 7-day trial with no card. You create an account, photograph ingredient packs, and build a Natasha's Law style bakery label. After the trial, BakeSafe is £15 per month. Spreadsheets can also draft labels for free, but you still have to check allergens and reprint when a pack changes.
What is a food allergen label maker?
A food allergen label maker helps you build an ingredients list with the 14 major allergens emphasised, usually from the packs you bake with. BakeSafe does this from pack photos. You review the text before you print. You stay responsible for accuracy.
Do bakery labels need allergens in bold?
For food that is prepacked for direct sale (PPDS) in the UK, the ingredients list must emphasise the 14 major allergens, for example in bold or capitals. Always check current FSA guidance for your own setup.
Do UK home bakers need allergen labels?
If you pre-pack food for direct sale (PPDS), including many cakes boxed for a cake shed, market stall or collection, UK rules commonly known as Natasha's Law require a full ingredients list with the 14 major allergens clearly emphasised. Always check your own situation against current FSA guidance.
Does BakeSafe give me an allergens list and allergen matrix?
Yes. Each product gets an allergen ingredients list for the label, and your products feed an allergen matrix so you can see which allergens appear across what you sell, without a separate spreadsheet.
Is BakeSafe free?
There is a free 7-day trial with no card required. After that, BakeSafe is £15/month for subscribers who want to keep using the app.
Can I scan more than one pack at once?
Yes. BakeSafe supports bulk photo upload so you can process the packs for a recipe together, instead of adding a single photo, waiting, then repeating for every ingredient.
Can BakeSafe print to a Munbyn or Bluetooth label printer?
Yes. BakeSafe supports Bluetooth printing to compatible Munbyn printers on Android, Windows and iPhone, including multi-print. Disconnect the Munbyn app first so BakeSafe can use the one connection. If print fails, export the label.
Is BakeSafe only a free label webpage?
No. You create an account, photograph packs, review the ingredients list, and print. Labels sync on devices you sign in on. Free 7-day trial, then £15/month if you continue.
Who is BakeSafe for?
UK home bakers, cake shed operators, market and fair stalls, and small producers who pre-pack bakes and need clear allergen ingredient labels and organised records.
Will my labels and records stay on one phone only?
No. BakeSafe saves to your account and syncs across devices you sign in on - useful if you bake on your phone and do admin on a tablet or laptop, or if a VA helps.
Every unlabelled box is a guess
One product on the trial proves the workflow before Saturday’s orders. Sign up, photograph the packs, review the ingredients, print when you are happy. No card. Trial ends, then £15/month if you continue.
