Breaking news! The Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education and Research (FASTER) Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Doris Matsui (D-CA) and signed into law by President Biden! This package of federal policy changes is "a critical piece of legislation requiring that sesame be labeled on packaged foods and prioritizing food allergy research," according to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE).
