The bill amends Title 3 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to introduce a new section focused on the labeling of food products that contain gluten-containing grains. It recognizes the health risks associated with gluten for individuals with celiac disease and other gluten sensitivities, emphasizing the importance of clear labeling to protect these consumers. The bill mandates that food products containing gluten must specify the gluten content on their labels and include a warning about potential adverse health effects for those with gluten-related conditions.

Additionally, the bill allows food products to be labeled as "gluten-free" if they meet specific criteria, such as containing no gluten or having gluten levels below 20 parts per million. Definitions for "gluten" and "gluten-containing grain" are also provided to clarify the terms used in the labeling requirements. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
