Summary

The law expands California’s list of major food allergens to include sesame and sets new disclosure rules for chain restaurants with 20 or more locations. Starting July 1 2026, these establishments must provide written notice of any major allergens in each menu item, either directly on the menu or via a digital source with an alternative printed option. The rule does not apply to mobile or temporary food operations, and local agencies may receive state reimbursement for certain implementation costs.
