## Summary

**This bill would add gluten-containing grains to the federal list of major food allergens.** It names wheat, rye, barley, and crossbred hybrids such as triticale and delays the change for foods introduced into interstate commerce until 18 months after enactment. - People with celiac disease and gluten allergies: Would have wheat, rye, barley, and crossbred hybrids explicitly classified as major food allergens under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. - Food manufacturers and importers: Products introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce would be governed by the new definition starting 18 months after enactment. - Distributors and interstate sellers: Foods shipped across state lines that contain those grains would fall under the expanded federal allergen category.
