We love baking for everyone, and we take allergies seriously. Magdalene Bakers is a small, home-style kitchen where many ingredients are handled in the same space, so please read this notice before ordering if you, or anyone you are ordering for, has a food allergy or intolerance.
1. Allergens in our kitchen
Our kitchen handles the following allergens every day. Any of our products may contain them, or traces of them:
- Wheat and gluten: flour in most cakes, cookies, brownies, biscuits and muffins.
- Milk and dairy: butter, cream, cream cheese, milk, milk powder and chocolate.
- Eggs.
- Tree nuts: almond, pistachio, hazelnut and walnut.
- Peanuts: including peanut butter.
- Soy: for example, soy lecithin in chocolate and some sprinkles.
- Sesame.
Some ingredients we buy, such as chocolate, sprinkles, colours, fillings and spreads, carry their own "may contain" warnings. We follow these labels carefully, but we cannot control how they are made.
2. Cross-contact
We use the same ovens, mixers, bowls, utensils and work surfaces for all our products. We clean thoroughly between batches and follow FSSAI hygiene practices, but we cannot rule out cross-contact. Flour and nut dust can also travel through the air in a working kitchen. This means every product may contain traces of every allergen listed above, even if it is not a listed ingredient.
Eggless products
We offer eggless versions of many products. "Eggless" means we do not use egg as an ingredient in that product. It is still made in the same kitchen and with the same equipment as products that contain egg, so it may contain traces of egg and is not suitable for anyone with an egg allergy. Eggless products also usually contain wheat and dairy, and may contain nuts, unless we have confirmed otherwise.
3. Products that clearly contain nuts or peanuts
Some of our products have nuts or peanuts as a main ingredient. Examples include:
- Pistachio: Pistachio Cake, Rose Pistachio Cake, Pistachio Rose Cupcake, Pistachio Muffin, Pistachio White Chocolate Cookie and Pistachio Cardamom Biscuit.
- Almond: Almond Biscuit and Almond Biscotti.
- Walnut: Walnut Brownie, Banana Walnut Muffin and Carrot & Walnut Muffin.
- Hazelnut: Ferrero Hazelnut Cupcake, Nutella Hazelnut Brownie and Hazelnut Praline Brownie.
- Peanut: Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie, Peanut Butter Swirl Brownie, Peanut Butter Muffin and Peanut Butter Chocolate Muffin.
This is not a complete list. Nuts, pralines and nut-based spreads can also appear as fillings, toppings or garnishes on other products, especially custom cakes. If in doubt, please ask us.
4. Tell us before you order
- Mention any allergy or intolerance in your Quick Order message or WhatsApp chat, before we confirm your order.
- Ask us about the ingredients of any product. We will share what we know, including the labels of the ingredients we buy.
- If you are ordering for someone else, a party or a gift, please share this notice with the people who will be eating.
- If you avoid certain ingredients for health, religious or personal reasons, ask us about the specific product first.
5. Not suitable for severe allergies
If you, or anyone who will eat our products, has a severe or life-threatening allergy, we are sorry, but we cannot guarantee that any of our products is safe, and we recommend that you do not order from us.
Please make a careful decision based on the information in this notice. Our responsibilities are explained further in our Terms & Conditions and Refund & Cancellation Policy.
6. Non-edible decorations
Cake toppers, sticks, dowels, ribbons, wires and fresh flowers are for decoration only. Please remove them before cutting and serving, especially for young children.

Magdalene Bakers is an FSSAI-certified cloud kitchen. FSSAI licence no.: [FSSAI_NO]. Recipes and suppliers can change from time to time, so we update this notice when they do. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version.
