Podcast Description:
Andrea Levario joins Jules on the Gluten-Free Voice, Thu, Aug 4, 2011
Gluten-free expert, author, coach and advocate Jules Shepard hosts a weekly show offering news, interviews with intriguing guests, gluten-free baking tips and otherwise lively conversation.
This week Jules will be joined by Andrea Levario, the Executive Director of the American Celiac Disease Alliance (ACDA). Under Ms. Levario’s leadership, the ACDA has fought for many policy initiatives on behalf of those with celiac disease. Most recently, the independent organization 1in133.org selected the ACDA as its partner group to push for finalization of FDA gluten-free food labeling standards. Together, they have achieved this goal, with the FDA’s release Wednesday of its Safety Assessment, just 3 months after 1in133’s Gluten-Free Labeling Summit.
Ms. Levario will be on with Jules to discuss what happens next with these proposed regulations and how the gluten-free community can best respond to the FDA’s proposed standard so we may all enjoy safer gluten-free labeling in the United States as soon as possible.
