Relating to: food allergen training and certificates of food protection practices, rules addressing food allergens, and granting rule-making authority. (FE)

SB 786 requires food businesses, including home-canned food sellers, to clearly label major food allergens (like milk, eggs, nuts, or soy) in ingredient lists. It mandates that food workers complete department-approved training on allergen awareness, covering topics like allergy symptoms, cross-contact prevention, and communication with customers. The bill grants the Department of Agriculture rule-making authority to establish standards for allergen labeling, food handling, and training requirements. These changes apply to new applications for food safety certificates starting on the bill's effective date.
