An Act amending Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in food protection, providing for labeling of food products with gluten-containing grains.
This bill requires food products sold or distributed in Pennsylvania to include specific labeling information if they contain gluten or ingredients derived from gluten-containing grains. The law mandates that labels specify the gluten content and warn consumers that such products may cause adverse health effects for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. It also establishes criteria for labeling a product as "gluten-free," allowing this designation if the item contains no gluten, has less than 20 parts per million of gluten, or has been processed to remove gluten. The legislation defines gluten-containing grains as wheat, rye, barley, and oats, aiming to improve safety and health outcomes for residents with related food allergies.
