Celiac Safety Act of 2026

The Celiac Safety Act of 2026 would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to classify gluten-containing grains—specifically wheat, rye, and barley, including their crossbred hybrids like triticale—as major food allergens, requiring them to be labeled accordingly on food products. This change would affect food manufacturers and consumers by mandating clearer labeling of gluten-containing ingredients to help individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities avoid harmful exposure. The requirement would apply only to food introduced into interstate commerce 18 months or more after the bill’s enactment, providing a delayed implementation period for industry compliance.
