Accommodation of food allergies and dietary restrictions in certain food service establishments.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to accommodation of food allergies and dietary restrictions in certain food service establishments

This bill would require the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to establish a food protection course and certification program for restaurants to demonstrate compliance with food allergen safety, and require restaurants to post a sign for customers on food allergen awareness. The bill would also establish a voluntary certification program for food service establishments who advertise themselves as capable of accommodating certain dietary restrictions, such as gluten-free, nut-free, vegetarian, and vegan, among others.
