New Jersey is the perfect place for people with allergies.

People who suffer from severe, potentially life-threatening forms of food allergies ask themselves the main question before each daily meal: is there a potentially lethal ingredient on my plate?

Один из городов Нью-Джерси стремится облегчить жизнь этим людям, выпустив постановление, которое может стать «одним из самых строгих и эффективных» законов относительно пищевой аллергии как в штате, так и в стране, рассказывает NJ.com.

The ruling, recently introduced by Sam Joshi, an adviser to the city of Edison, is likely to lead to major changes in the work of the food establishments industry. The document requires more than 630 institutions in the city and almost 400 catering establishments outside of it to change the menu, noting all the allergens for each dish and drink that they offer to visitors.

Currently, there are no laws in the state that require restaurants and catering companies to label allergens in food and beverages. Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Rhode Island and Virginia have some of the most stringent food allergy laws in the United States. Similar measures are being proposed now in Edison.

According to the new decree, in the “allergy-friendly menu” it will be necessary to note the content of the most common allergens in 8 dishes and drinks: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sodium glutamate and sulfites. Allergens will have to be marked also in bars.

According to Joshi, data show that allergic reactions most often occur in response to food served in restaurants, banquet halls, schools and other institutions.

«Случаи пищевой аллергии настолько резко участились за последнее десятилетие, что многие владельцы заведений или официанты не имеют четких правил в отношении аллергии, но им это необходимо», — сказал Джоши.

Catering companies located outside the settlement, but coming to Edison for events, will also have to label their products and drinks. According to Joshi, it is unacceptable that service personnel unknowingly made a fatal mistake.

Хотя пищевая аллергия — не новое явление, масштабы ее действительно растут. По данным Центров по контролю и профилактике заболеваний (CDC), пищевые аллергии у детей в США стали происходить на 50 процентов чаще в период с 1997 по 2011 год.

According to the Blue Cross Blue Shield report, from 2010 to 2016 a year more than 4,5 to millions of children aged 18 and older in the entire US state found themselves in the emergency room because of food allergies (mainly peanuts, hazelnuts and seeds).

Joshi hopes that the order will become the standard for other cities on the state to protect those who are prone to allergic reactions. The resolution will be sent to the seven members of the 22 Council on August. If accepted, the document will take effect on October 1 for paper menus. Changes to the electronic scoreboard will be needed until February next year's 1.
