Food Allergy Safety News in California!

California has a new food regulation requiring restaurant chains with 20 or more locations to disclose ingredients in all menu items. This step is great news for anyone managing food allergies, as it makes dining out safer and less stressful.

When eating at chain restaurants in California, you can now request a full ingredient list for any menu item—giving you more confidence in your choices and helping you avoid potential allergens.

If you have questions about managing food allergies or want tips for safe dining, our team is here to help. Learn more about food allergy resources: https://www.allergypartners.com/services/testing/food-allergy-testing/
