Food Allergy Education Poster Requirement for Restaurant Workers

Published by Zach Becker on Mar 19, 2009

This petition is for the creation of a Food Allergen Education Poster which will include information about peanut, tree nuts, cow's milk, egg, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish and gluten food allergies.

Public restaurants regulated by the County of Wake, NC would display the poster in a prominent location that is accessible to all employees that prepare or serve food, and should be available in other languages.

This poster will be a simple, cost-effective resource that will help servers and preparers detect hidden ingredients and prevent cross-contamination -- the number one cause of food allergic-reactions in restaurants.

Enforcement on the displaying of the poster will fall under Wake County's jurisdiction and fines should be imposed for non-compliant locations.

New York City Legislation Int. 818-2008 should be used as a reference guide. To view the bill, visit http://council.nyc.gov and search Legislation for Int. 818-2008.
