Plain-English Summary

The proposal would require food companies to clearly label products containing barley, rye, and oats as major allergens, similar to how they currently must label peanuts, milk, and shellfish. This change would help people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity more easily identify foods that could make them sick. Food manufacturers and restaurants would need to update their labeling practices to comply with the new requirement.
