The legislation mandates that restaurants prominently display DSHS-provided posters featuring essential information on significant food allergens, symptoms, preventative measures, and appropriate responses to allergic reactions. Additionally, food training programs and the food handler/manager certification exam must align with the allergen information outlined on the DSHS poster.
Dr. Serge de Golovine, a distinguished board-certified Allergist and Immunologist associated with the McGovern Allergy Clinic in Houston provided his testimony and expressed his optimism regarding the impact of this groundbreaking legislation. “At McGovern Allergy & Asthma Clinic, our team is dedicated to providing patients with comprehensive food allergy care and education. The passage of this bill not only enhances the safety of dining out for individuals with food allergies but also catalyzes fostering greater food allergy awareness among the general public.”
With the enactment of the Sergio Lopez Food Allergy Awareness Act, Dr. de Golovine envisions a significant reduction in the risk of cross-contamination within restaurants and heightened public awareness regarding food allergies. For additional details about SB 812 and the Sergio Lopez Food Allergy Awareness Act, interested parties can refer to the official Texas legislative website.
