BILL NUMBER:S214A
Title of bill
An act to amend the public health law, in relation to the creation and posting of food allergy posters in retail establishments
Purpose or general idea of bill
The purpose of this legislation is to require the display of information regarding food allergies and safety practices regarding cross contamination within food service establishments.
Summary of specific provisions
The bill will amend the public health law by adding new section 1352-e.
Justification
The dangers associated with food allergies and cross contamination can be sharply curtailed through the use of proper education and effective sanitary techniques. By requiring the display of critical food allergy information within food service establishments, these safety mechanisms are more likely to be utilized, leading to a lower incidence of preventable allergic reaction in New York's restaurants.
