- 2Operating under the same name and substantially the same menu
- 3With at least one location in California
If your brand meets these criteria, compliance is required.
What Does SB-68 Require?
Covered restaurants must disclose the presence of the Top 9 Major Allergens for every standard menu item:
This requirement applies to:
All standard menu items must include allergen disclosure across all formats.
Approved Disclosure Formats Under SB-68
SB-68 allows two disclosure approaches:
Print Disclosure
List allergens directly on the menu or menu board next to each item.
Digital Disclosure
Provide a QR code or digital link to allergen information.
Important: If using digital disclosure, restaurants must also provide a written alternative, such as an allergen matrix, for customers who cannot access the digital version.
The Compliance Challenge for Multi-Unit Brands
SB-68 introduces operational complexity:
Centralized allergen data must be accurate
Every menu variation must be updated
Digital and print must remain synchronized
Seasonal or limited-time offers must remain compliant
Updates must be deployed across all California locations
Written alternatives must always be available
Foodini eliminates that risk.
