The family of Owen Carey have launched a campaign to introduce ‘Owen’s Law’ to legally require that restaurants include information about the top 14 allergens on the face of their menus. Currently, restaurants are permitted to provide this information in a any format they chose, including verbally only.
Owen’s family have created a petition to change the law around allergy labelling in UK restaurants. Owen’s Law would make it mandatory to have:
1. The information about allergens in each dish a restaurant offers on the face of the menu
2. There to be an obligation that the servers asks the customer if they have any allergies
