California will become the first state in the nation requiring restaurants to list major food allergens on their menus starting in 2026 under a new law.
How would you ever know??? Anything with a protein chain or protein-like chain can be an allergen. That’s pretty much all food.
This is bound to end up with “all items on our menu may cause cancer… AND contain allergens that may put a susceptible person into anaphylactic shock.”
Jesus christ, dude, we already do this on food packaging. What’s up your ass? Read two paragraphs into the article:
“They will have to disclose ingredients including milk, eggs, shellfish and tree nuts […]” That’s basically just what we already do on food packaging: list common allergens. Fucking no shit they’re not exhausting every single possible allergy. Again, what problem do you actually have here besides the fact that people with food allergies might have easier lives?
And by the way, the California Prop 65 joke you’re making isn’t indicative of government overreach or myopia; it’s indicative of how extremely present carcinogens are in the products we use. The list of Prop 65 ingredients is very thoroughly vetted, and items are only included when a clear, causal link to cancer can be reliably established.
They don’t want to read a menu. What makes you think they want to read an article? You’re responding to people who want to point to pictures when they select their food.
You know they don’t want to do that. If they did, people would ask questions like “How come my 40$ homemade Spaghetti with fresh spinach sauce lists soylecithin, yeast extract and xanthan gum as ingredients?”

Wow, what a dumb fucking thing to write out.
Just clearly list the ingredients
That way I don’t have to badger the waiter with my 10+ allergies AND hopefully not forget one until I see it on my plate

Bonkers level dumbassery
Look how other countries do it . List the most common allegens which covers over 95% of the population. Thats a good step.
