Requires gluten cross contamination safeguards in food establishments owned, operated or leased by any department or agency of the state
This bill requires state-owned, operated, or leased food establishments (like cafeterias in state buildings) to prevent gluten cross-contamination in gluten-free foods. It mandates that all new or renewed food service contracts for these facilities include provisions for contractors to take reasonable precautions against cross-contamination. The bill also directs the health and education commissioners to create specific rules for safely preparing gluten-free meals in these settings. The policy directly affects state contractors and vendors operating food services in state facilities, ensuring safer options for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities.
