Require restaurants to provide complete ingredient info

Do you really know what you're eating at different restaurants? For those of us with food allergies and sensitivities, eating out can not only be dangerous but even fatal.

I want to have a law passed that would require all restaurants in the USA (from fast food to 5 star) to have complete and detailed ingredient lists ready for their customers. Not just the nutrition information such as calories and fat; we need to know what is REALLY in what we're eating. We need to know every chemical and spice, especially as every day it is being discovered that more and more chemicals are bad for you. Asking your waitress for ingredient information is not a good solution. I am sensitive to MSG (monosodium glutamate) and I always ask about the dish I want to order; however, there are other chemicals very similar to MSG (autolyzed yeast) that are in the dish but I am unaware.

Or say someone with a serious allergy (like peanuts) eats something with nuts in it unaware that this food could cause a fatal reaction?

If all food sold in grocery stores is required to have ingredient information, why not restaurants? We need to know; no one should suffer from this any longer.

PLEASE TELL YOUR SENATOR YOU WANT INGREDIENT INFORMATION!
