Bill > H1949

This bill requires all eating establishments that serve food to clearly identify the presence of common food allergens in their offerings, specifically mentioning milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, or soybeans. This identification must be in English and can be done either by listing the specific ingredients that contain these allergens or by stating "contains" followed by the name of the allergen source. This information must be readily available to customers and employees, either on menus, a separate food allergen list, or posted in a visible location. The Department of Public Health may also modify these food allergen list requirements.
