Bill > HB364

This bill requires food service operations in Ohio to clearly indicate on their menus or menu boards the presence of eight major food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans. For catering food service operations, the bill mandates that these businesses must inform their customers about the presence of these allergens in their food items through a reasonable method. This legislation aims to help individuals with food allergies make safer and more informed dining choices by providing transparent information about potential allergens in food items. The bill introduces a new section (3717.54) to the Ohio Revised Code, addressing food safety and consumer protection by ensuring that people with allergies can more easily identify foods that might cause them harm.
