Summarize with

Restaurants and food trucks in Virginia are having to make adjustments due to updated food regulations. In particular, they must disclose any major allergens in their food, including sesame, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts and soy, according to a report by ABC 13.

Restaurants and food trucks can disclose the allergens on a menu, via a separate handout, or a QR code. In addition, food truck operators must ensure that employees are aware of the updated list of major allergens.

The Virginia Department of Health said there is no need to reprint a menu as long as food trucks find a way to make this information available.
