FASTER Act of 2026

This bill would change federal food law so that wheat, rye, barley, and oats, along with crossbred hybrids such as triticale, are grouped as "gluten-containing grain" and treated as a major food allergen. Currently, only wheat is listed among these grains. The change would apply to food shipped between states starting one year after the bill becomes law. The Food and Drug Administration would have one year to update its compliance guides on major food allergens. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would also have to give Congress a report within one year on Celiac disease data, gaps in that data, diagnosis, prevention, risk reduction, and new treatments.
