Bill Summary

Amending Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in food protection, providing for food allergy awareness program.

AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania's food protection laws to establish a mandatory food allergy awareness program for public eating and drinking establishments. The program requires restaurants and similar venues to (1) prominently display a poster in staff areas that provides information about food allergies, which will be developed by the Department of Health in consultation with the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network, and (2) include a notice on food menus reminding customers of their responsibility to inform servers about any food allergies they may have. The goal of the program is to increase awareness and communication about food allergies to help prevent potential allergic reactions. The new requirements will take effect 60 days after the bill is signed into law, giving establishments time to prepare and implement the necessary changes.
