A bill in Pennsylvania seeks to minimize the risks of food allergies in restaurants. It would mandate restaurants to post allergy information and require staff to undergo food allergy safety training. The Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association supports the legislation, emphasizing the importance of food allergy awareness for guest safety.
“The last thing anyone should worry about while enjoying a meal with their family and friends is having a medical emergency brought on by a food allergy,” said Rep. Arvind Venkat, D-Allegheny County.
The Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association, the industry group representing restaurants, is on board with the legislation. Venkat and Rep. Natalie Mihalek, a Republican from Allegheny County, are reviving a bill that passed the House last session but failed to get a vote in the Senate.
