Overview

This resolution urges the United States Congress to pass two acts: a food labeling modernization act and an allergen disclosure act. The food labeling modernization act would update ingredient lists on packaged foods and require front-of-package labeling, including gluten disclosure. The allergen disclosure act would require labels on medications to identify ingredients derived from major food allergens or gluten-containing grains. These measures aim to improve consumer safety and manage diet-related diseases like celiac disease and gluten intolerance.
