Hello openstreetmap community! A friend forwarded me their project yesterday : to map allergy awareness in restaurants. Yes the thing is broad and cumbersome but it's only ar this occation that I realised osm didn't provide keys to reflect allergy trust or allergic risk. It is still emerging as a science but transparency laws have landed -- in france at least -- so there should be a way. Which lead me to this : has someone knowledge of a discussion on that topic? I looked around already but in vain.

If there's national scheme then we could potentially map that, but outside of that this sound very difficult to survey and might be something that could change far too often to be reliably mapped in OSM.
