Summary
Based on the bill's title, this legislation would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to classify alpha-gal as a major food allergen. This designation would likely require food manufacturers to disclose alpha-gal as an allergen on product labels, similar to current requirements for the eight major allergens (milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat). The bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
