California restaurants will have to disclose food allergens on their menus under new law

California will become the first state in the nation requiring restaurants to list major food allergens on their menus starting in 2026 under a new law. The law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Monday applies to businesses with at least 20 locations. California state Sen. Caroline Menjivar, a Democrat, said the bill was inspired in part by her own experiences living with severe allergies to many nuts and fruits.

Friendly reminder that Columbus never set foot in what’s now the United States. The lands he reached—like my islanddon’t celebrate him. On October 12, we honor Día de la Raza, celebrating Taíno culture, where children wear traditional clothing and dance the areíto, our ancestral dance of unity #Pink

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️
