Wrt to labelling, i would simply start with a simple guideline manual that the venue has to pass on to the chef sufficiently before the event, and that manual would include instructions for mandatory food labels to be placed in front of the food offered. And the venue would have to acknowledge compliance to the requested procedures in a timely manner before the event so that one round of mitigation talks can happen before the event. Could even include templates to print for such labels. And then these templates would contain the claims Food choice 1 Template: [ Name field, eg: (Rice / potatoes) ] vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free/nut-free/ halal/kosher/... Just have a set of possible templates for the differnt key categories of food and then you can start also efining for different request food servings which categories of food must be provided. Maybe i am underthinking it, but this doesn't sound loke rocket science to me.
