Protecting Children with Food Allergies Act

This bill requires school food service staff and other child nutrition program personnel to complete mandatory food allergy training covering prevention (like menu labeling and avoiding cross-contact), symptom identification, and emergency response. It also mandates the development of accessible nutrition education materials for WIC participants and families affected by food allergies, including during pregnancy, infancy, and childhood. The training and materials must be available in relevant languages and formats for people with limited English proficiency or disabilities. The bill authorizes $1 million annually for 2024-2028 to implement these requirements across school meal programs, the summer food service, and WIC. It directly affects school food workers, childcare providers, and families managing food allergies in federally supported child nutrition programs.
