It's the Law

"Restaurants in Massachusetts have become a bit safer
for food-allergic guests, thanks to a state law that went
into effect in April. All restaurants in the state are now
required to display information about food allergies in their
kitchens and staff must be trained on the subject. In addition,
menus must remind guests to inform wait staff of any food-allergy
issues. Restaurants can be designated "Food Allergy Friendly"
if they voluntarily create a binder listing all ingredients
in every menu item."

"The law is the result of a four-year effort by Massachusetts
state Senator Cynthia Stone Creem and celebrity chef Ming Tsai,
owner of Blue Ginger restaurant in Wellesley. Tsai has a son
with multiple life-threatening food allergies."

Shouldn't we be pushing for the same law here?
