Menu Allergen Statement Accuracy

Compare the guest-facing statement against current recipes, sub-recipes, and ingredient specifications for accuracy.
Verify any advisory language used is consistent with the operation's allergen control practices and does not replace ingredient verification.
Confirm there are no obsolete allergen statements, outdated icons, or stale ingredient claims on menus or signage.
