> Add product badges, dietary labels, and allergy warnings.

Use `Diet & Labels` for customer-facing food guidance.

## Menu Badges

Use badges like `Hot` or `New` when they help customers decide quickly.

Do not overuse badges. If everything is highlighted, nothing feels important.

## Dietary Labels

Use dietary labels only when the kitchen can stand behind them.

Examples:

* Gluten free.
* Dairy free.
* Nut free.
* Vegan.
* Vegetarian.

## Allergens

Select allergens customers should know about, such as milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, nuts, wheat, soy, sesame, mustard, celery, or sulphites.

Review allergy information carefully before publishing.
