Rhode Island Food Allergen Awareness Requirements
Food allergies can cause serious reactions, including life-threatening anaphylaxis. To protect public health, the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) requires all food-service establishments to comply with food allergen safety laws under RI General Law 23-20.12-2.
Requirements for Food Establishments:
- Display a RIDOH-approved allergen awareness poster in staff areas
- Add a menu notice asking customers to inform staff of any allergies
- Appoint a trained manager knowledgeable in food allergy prevention
RIDOH offers multilingual food allergen posters and promotes ANSI-accredited Food Safety Manager certification, which includes allergen training. Other industry-approved allergen training courses are also acceptable. RIDOH does not endorse specific providers.
