The "Consumer Advisory" is intended to apply to food establishments where raw or undercooked animal food such as eggs, undercooked hamburger, shellfish, or other foods of animal origin are sold or served in a raw or under-cooked form.
The owner or operator of the retail food establishment shall inform consumers of the significantly increased risk of consuming those foods by way of a disclosure and reminder using brochures, deli case or menu advisories, label statements, table tents, placards, or other effective written or visual means.
Each food item served in raw or under-cooked form shall be identified with an asterisk and a footnote reminder.
The reminder should include designating the animal-derived foods requiring disclosure with an asterisk (*) to a footnote that states at least one of the following:
(1) "Regarding the safety of these items, written information is available upon request."
(2) "Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness."
(3) "Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions."
The owner or operator of the retail food establishment shall inform consumers of the significantly increased risk of consuming those foods by way of a disclosure and reminder using brochures, deli case or menu advisories, label statements, table tents, placards, or other effective written or visual means.
