What it does
The FASTER Act of 2026 would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to classify barley, rye, and oats as major food allergens by redefining "gluten-containing grain" to include these grains, thereby requiring their labeling on food products. It would affect food manufacturers and consumers by mandating updated allergen labeling for foods containing these grains, with compliance required one year after enactment. The bill also directs the FDA to update its compliance guidelines and requires the HHS Secretary to submit a report on celiac disease surveillance, diagnostics, prevention, and treatment within one year of enactment.
