By itself, this is not helpful. What happens is that restaurants will claim that everything contains allergens, or even add allergens to things so that they can confidently say whether it does contain any. Instead, we also need to tighten food safety standards so that there is dramatically reduced risk of cross-contamination. Supply chains are a major problem for people with allergies, because there are so many points where accidental contamination can happen that those at the end of the chain - like restaurants - are terrified of making assumptions.
This is very helpful. I have two major common food allergies and we have such a law in the EU. Yes, some restaurants just write every allergene on every item and call it a day, but those are usually not the good ones. A lot of good restaurants just write tge actually allergenes and "may contain traces of" on the menu and usually the staff is also informed and trained to answer questions regarding allergies.
What part of his comment made you think he's a shill for big business and pushing for deregulation?
I am curious at how you managed to arrive at the polar opposite of the point I was making.
