A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to pass the Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2023 and the Allergen Disclosure In Non-food Articles Act.

This Pennsylvania House resolution urges the U.S. Congress to pass two federal bills aimed at improving food and drug safety for people with allergies and gluten intolerance. The proposed legislation would require updated ingredient lists on packaged foods and mandate clear front-of-package labels that specifically disclose the presence of gluten-containing grains. Additionally, it would require drug labels to identify any ingredients derived from major food allergens or gluten sources, helping consumers avoid harmful substances. The resolution is based on the need to protect the approximately 23 million Americans, including many Pennsylvanians, who suffer from celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
