Bill > A06524

This bill requires food service establishments to disclose when they are operating out of another restaurant's kitchen or in a location not exclusively used as a kitchen for their establishment. The bill defines key terms such as "food service establishment" (any place providing food for individual service to consumers), "third-party food delivery service" (websites or apps that arrange food delivery), and "third-party food delivery platform" (the online platform where consumers can view and order food). Specifically, the bill mandates that these establishments must clearly and prominently disclose their kitchen arrangements in all advertisements, on their websites, mobile applications, internet services, and third-party food delivery platforms when they are using a kitchen that is not their own or not exclusively dedicated to their business. The purpose appears to be increasing transparency for consumers about the origin and preparation of their food, potentially helping customers understand the actual kitchen facilities being used to prepare their meals. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law, giving food service establishments time to update their marketing and disclosure practices.
