Requires food service businesses to provide written notice of major food allergens in each menu item.
S 3394 requires all New Jersey food service businesses - including restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, food trucks, and movie theaters - to provide clear written notice of major food allergens (like milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, soy, wheat, and sesame) for every menu item, including temporary offerings. Businesses must display this information directly on menus, via a scannable QR code linking to an online resource, or on separate written materials like charts or booklets, using common allergen names or approved symbols. The law excludes prepackaged foods already covered by federal labeling rules. Enforcement will be handled by the Department of Health or local health boards upon complaint.
