The bill amends Title 3 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish a food allergy awareness program under the Department of Health. It replaces the previously reserved section with provisions that require public eating and drinking establishments to comply with specific guidelines aimed at increasing food allergy awareness. These guidelines include prominently displaying a poster in staff areas that provides information on food allergies and including a notice on menus informing customers of their responsibility to inform servers about any food allergies they may have.
Additionally, the Department of Health is tasked with developing the required poster in consultation with the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network, ensuring that the information provided is accurate and helpful. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
