2008 Gluten Free Expo

By Jackie McMillan

If you’re gluten intolerant, you might want to mark the 2008 Gluten Free Expo into your diary. It’s on Friday 22nd August (4pm-9pm) and Saturday 23rd August (9am-5pm) at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park. Admission is free.

In its fourth year, the event will have more than seventy stalls, carrying everything from beer to bread, cakes to crisp-breads. The exciting news for those with gluten intolerance is that all items inside the expo are gluten free. As Graham Price, President of the Coeliac Society, says: ‘This is a unique event in the Coeliac’s calendar as sufferers can walk in and eat or taste anything in the show without having to worry about what they’re eating.‘

As well as providing samples and tastings, the exhibitors will be selling their products so arrive hungry, and pack a shopping bag! For more information, go here: www.glutenfreeexpo.com.au
