Bill > SB183

This bill mandates that the Board of Health, which is a state agency responsible for public health, create new rules requiring restaurants to put a special identifying marker on any food prepared for delivery or takeout that has been changed or substituted because a customer has a food allergy or sensitivity. These markers will be standardized by the Board of Health and will specifically identify common food allergies or sensitivities, including the major food allergens listed in a specific regulation (12VAC5-421-10) and gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This aims to provide clearer information to consumers with dietary restrictions when they receive their food.
