HB 181 would require restaurants to provide written disclosure of the top 9 food allergens in menu items. Restaurants would have flexibility in how information is shared—on menus, digitally, or through allergen guides—making it easier for families to make safe dining choices.

Food allergies are a growing public health concern. Accidental exposure can cause anaphylaxis and, in rare cases, death. Restaurants account for a significant share of serious food allergy reactions. Clear allergen information can prevent emergencies, reduce fear for families, and allow children and adults with food allergies to participate fully in everyday life.
