Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Sec. 6149. (1) As used in this section:

(a) “Publicly available” means accessible to consumers, without their having to request it, before their placing food orders or making their selections.

(b) “Selection information” means whatever consumers read to make their order selections, such as menu, table tent, placard, chalkboard, or other written means.

(2) To satisfy section 3-603.11 of the food code, the food establishment may provide the following statement on selection information so that it is publicly available: “Ask your server about menu items that are cooked to order or served raw. Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.”.

(3) A statement used under subsection (2) may be tailored to be product specific if a food establishment either has a limited menu or offers only specific animal-derived foods in raw or undercooked, ready-to-eat form.

(4) The language for the menu items shall match the language used for the disclosure and the reminder. The disclosure and reminder may also be in additional languages.

(5) The text for disclosures and reminders shall meet the following requirements:

(a) The text size for statements on handheld menus or table tents shall be visually equivalent to at least 11-point font size or may be visually equivalent to the font size of menu item descriptions.

(b) Text color provides a clear contrast to background.

(6) Table tents, placards, or chalkboards that are used exclusively to list food items that are offered as daily, weekly, or temporary specials are exempt from the requirements of this section when those food items also appear in the primary selection information that contains the disclosures and reminders meeting the requirements of this section.
