An Act requiring identification of food allergens in eating establishments

This bill requires eating establishments in Massachusetts to clearly identify common food allergens on their menus or separate lists. It mandates that restaurants disclose the presence of milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans in their food offerings. The law specifies that these allergen warnings must be written in English and placed where all customers and staff can easily see them. Additionally, the state Department of Public Health retains the authority to modify these specific listing requirements as needed.
