The Senate has passed their version of the FASTER Act, a law that would require sesame to be included as one of the top food allergens. This would make sesame labeling mandatory and fund more much-needed food allergy research. Under AAFA’s leadership, several advocacy groups joined forces to encourage lawmakers and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to act. This is great news, but there are still more steps lawmakers have to take before this becomes law. Read more about the FASTER Act and next steps.
