Harckham-Lunsford Bill Requiring Allergen Labeling

“As a mom of a child with a sesame allergy, I support this bill because the new sesame requirements only work if labeling is enforced everywhere.”

“I'm joining this coalition because New York should lead on allergen safety. Clear labeling is a small change that saves lives.”

“Families shouldn't have to call manufacturers to learn if a product is safe. This bill makes essential information accessible to everyone.”

“I support Senators Harckham and Levenberg's bill because consistent allergen labeling across New York protects every resident, not just those with diagnosed allergies.”

“My daughter was hospitalized after an unlabeled allergen exposure at a community event. This legislation would prevent that for other families.”

“As a restaurant owner, I support clear allergen labeling requirements. They protect my customers and give my staff clear guidance.”

“I manage five students with food allergies in my classroom. Clear labeling would help teachers and staff keep kids safe every day.”

“New Yorkers with food allergies deserve the same labeling protections as the rest of the country. This bill is a necessary step forward.”

“My child's school cafeteria has no reliable ingredient lists. This bill would require clear allergen labeling so families can navigate public spaces safely.”
