A 6151 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires labeling of over-the-counter and prescription drugs containing major food allergen or gluten-containing grain.

This bill (A6151) requires drug manufacturers to label over-the-counter and prescription drugs containing major food allergens or gluten-containing grains with clear, conspicuous information identifying the specific allergen or grain type. It directly affects consumers with allergies or gluten sensitivities by enabling them to avoid products that could cause adverse reactions, and drug manufacturers who must comply with the labeling requirement. The law mandates that labels explicitly name each allergen or grain source (e.g., wheat, barley) in an easily understandable format, with penalties of $500-$2,000 for non-compliance. It applies to all human drugs except grooming/hygiene products and certain controlled substances, as defined in the bill.
