Restaurants can now mark menu items with four new dietary attributes inside Google Business Profiles: gluten-free, dairy-free, halal, and kosher. The additions sit alongside the vegetarian and vegan tags already available, giving diners with specific dietary needs a clearer way to find dishes that match before they walk in the door.<\/p>\n

What changed inside Google Business Profiles<\/h2>\n

The four new attributes cover diets that previously had no first-party tag on restaurant profiles. Diners searching Google Maps or Google Search for terms like "gluten-free dinner near me" can now see which menu items carry the matching badge directly on the business profile.<\/p>\n

From the restaurant side, adding the badges is a short flow inside the existing Google Business Profile editor: open the profile, select "Edit menu," choose an item, and check the dietary badges that apply.<\/p>\n

Why the tags matter for diners and restaurants<\/h2>\n

For diners, the badges answer a recurring question at the decision point: "Can I actually eat here?" Instead of reading ingredient lists or calling ahead, the profile surfaces the tag on the dish card itself.<\/p>\n

Tagging the right menu items makes those entries more likely to appear in diet-filtered local searches, putting the listing in front of an audience with stated dietary preferences. Tagged dishes are more likely to stand out among nearby competitors whose items carry no badge.<\/p>\n

What the badges look like in practice<\/h2>\n

The attributes appear on individual menu items rather than on the restaurant as a whole, so a single kitchen can accurately mix and match: a steakhouse can tag one dish as gluten-free and a salad as vegan, without claiming the entire menu meets either standard. That item-level scope mirrors how people actually order, and it avoids forcing restaurants to label every menu entry with a one-size-fits-all claim.<\/p>\n

A note on self-attested dietary claims<\/h2>\n

The dietary attributes are applied by the business itself, which means the tags are only as reliable as the restaurant’s own labelling. For some categories, especially kosher, there is no built-in third-party certification step within the profile editor, so diners with stricter requirements may still want to confirm directly with the restaurant before ordering.<\/p>\n

How to add the new attributes right now<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Sign in to the Google Business Profile that manages the restaurant.<\/li>\n
  2. Open the menu editor and choose "Edit menu."<\/li>\n
  3. Pick the individual menu item to tag.<\/li>\n
  4. Check the dietary badges that apply: gluten-free, dairy-free, halal, kosher, vegetarian, or vegan.<\/li>\n
  5. Save the item and publish the menu update.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Items only need to be tagged once, and any future menu edits can add or remove badges on a per-dish basis.<\/p>\n
