Plain-English Summary

The proposal would require food manufacturers to clearly label products containing gluten-containing grains as a major allergen, similar to how they currently label peanuts, milk, and shellfish. This would help people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity identify unsafe foods more easily and reduce the risk of accidental exposure. Food companies would need to update their labeling practices to comply with the new requirement.
