BILL NUMBER: S580
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.
