Bill will add sesame as the ninth major allergen; require the federal government to analyze research opportunities to develop more effective treatments for food allergy. The legislation was first introduced in the House by Rep. Doris Matsui (CA-06) in April 2019. Its goal is to improve the food allergy community’s safety by declaring sesame the top ninth allergen as recognized by the FDA, making labeling mandatory, and expanding research to find new treatments. In March, FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education) brought together more than 150 food allergy advocates from across the country for more than 100 successful meetings on Capitol Hill urging support for this critical legislation. FARE’s grassroots advocates have sent more than 8,000 emails and held hundreds of virtual and in-person district meetings with Congress and staff members. Having been passed by the House of Representatives, the bill now heads to the United States Senate for consideration. FARE will seek to introduce both bills during the first 100 days of the 117th Session of Congress. @ https://www.foodallergy.org/media-room/us-house-representatives-unanimously-passes-faster-act-represents-significant-milestone
