Effective7 Apr 2026
StatusIn effect

What changed

The v4.9 change log entry of April 7, 2026 says you can now manage up to 200 dish photos in Food Menus using accounts.locations.updateFoodMenus. On October 9, 2026 the DietaryRestriction enum gained GLUTEN_FREE and DAIRY_FREE for food menu items, managed through getFoodMenus and updateFoodMenus. The change log does not state the earlier photo limit.

What it means

Restaurant menu tools can attach up to 200 dish photos to a Google food menu (April 7, 2026) and mark items gluten-free or dairy-free (October 9, 2026).

Who is affected

Developers of restaurant listing and menu tools that use the Business Profile v4.9 food menu methods, and agencies that manage restaurant profiles.

What to do by 7 Apr 2026

Use accounts.locations.updateFoodMenus for dish photos and the new DietaryRestriction values. Read them back with getFoodMenus.

What this means for you

Restaurants can show their menu on Google. Apps that manage that menu can now add up to 200 photos of dishes. Since October they can also mark a dish as gluten-free or dairy-free, which helps people with food allergies find what they can eat.

The details

  • April 7, 2026 (v4.9): "You can now manage up to 200 dish photos in your Food Menus using accounts.locations.updateFoodMenus." The entry does not give the previous limit.
  • October 9, 2026 (v4.9): the DietaryRestriction enum on FoodMenus "now supports GLUTEN_FREE and DAIRY_FREE" for food menu items.
  • Methods: accounts.locations.getFoodMenus and accounts.locations.updateFoodMenus.
  • Neither entry describes any other change to FoodMenus or any removed value.

What to do next

  • Business owners: If you run a restaurant, add dish photos and allergy tags through your menu tool or Business Profile.
  • Marketers and agencies: Add dish photos and gluten-free or dairy-free tags to restaurant clients' Google menus.
  • Developers: Allow up to 200 dish photos per menu and add GLUTEN_FREE and DAIRY_FREE to your dietary restriction mapping.
