The main purpose of this legislation, known as the Celiac Safety Act of 2026, is to enhance food safety for individuals with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities. It aims to officially recognize gluten-containing grains as major food allergens, which will help ensure better labeling and safety measures for these products. The key provisions of this law include an amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It adds gluten-containing grains—specifically wheat, rye, and barley—to the list of major food allergens.
