Illinois Senate is considering a new plan to educate hospitality workers on celiac disease and prevent cross contamination. The bill would require food handlers to be trained on the disease, handling gluten-free products, cleaning to remove gluten residues, and identifying gluten-free products. State Sen. Sally Turner emphasized the need for restaurants and lawmakers to take action to support those with celiac disease, as some establishments lack awareness and appropriate menus. The plan passed unanimously out of the Consumer Protection Committee and is now in the Senate for further discussion. Turner believes that increased awareness and education will benefit both consumers with celiac disease and workers in the industry. If the plan is approved, it could lead to a positive impact on the well-being of those with celiac disease in Illinois.
