BILL NUMBER:S214
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-d.
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.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New Bill.
