Requires labeling of over-the-counter and prescription drugs containing major food allergen or gluten-containing grain.
This bill requires all over-the-counter and prescription drugs containing ingredients derived from common food allergens (like peanuts or shellfish) or gluten-containing grains (like wheat) to display clear, visible labels identifying those specific ingredients. It directly affects drug manufacturers and pharmacies by mandating this labeling on product packaging. The Department of Health will enforce the rule, with penalties of $500 for a first offense, $1,000 for a second, and $2,000 for subsequent violations. The goal is to help consumers with allergies or sensitivities safely identify and avoid potentially harmful ingredients in medications.
