The Commission on Participatory Legislation of the Chamber of Deputies will hold a public hearing to discuss public policies aimed at food inclusion and the promotion of alternative food production for individuals with dietary restrictions.

This debate is initiated at the request of Deputy João Daniel (PT-SE). According to the deputy, the aim is to examine legislative and administrative measures that ensure equitable access to suitable food for individuals with allergies, intolerances, and food hypersensitivities.

João Daniel further states that the lack of structured policies in this area has led to significant inequalities, particularly affecting families in economically vulnerable situations.

“The provision and availability of safe and appropriate food for individuals with allergies, intolerances, and food hypersensitivities is not merely a matter of convenience, but a requirement for the realization of the principle of human dignity,” he asserts.
