This bill version (S5381B) clarifies allergen labeling requirements for prepackaged foods in New York. The main substantive change updates the labeling exemption language to explicitly reference both federal and state law when determining which ingredients need to be labeled, providing clearer guidance to food establishments.
Scope change
No change to the overall scope of the bill; it still applies to prepackaged foods sold on the same premises and defines major food allergens the same way as the previous version.

Updated the labeling exemption language to clarify that establishments need not identify ingredients that do not constitute major food allergens under either federal or state law, replacing the previous reference only to federal law.
