SR 24 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to pass a food labeling modernization act and an allergen disclosure in non-food articles act.

This resolution (SR 24) urges the U.S. Congress to pass two specific laws: a food labeling modernization act and an allergen disclosure law for medications. It seeks to require clearer front-of-package labels on food showing gluten sources (including barley, oats, and rye, not just wheat) and to mandate that medication labels identify ingredients derived from major food allergens like gluten. The resolution directly addresses people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance - impacting an estimated 7% of the U.S. population - who face serious health risks from unlabeled gluten exposure. Current federal labeling only requires wheat identification, leaving other gluten sources unmarked and putting sensitive consumers at risk. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new law but calls on Congress to act.
