Join Bev Lieven as she explains the current labeling laws, along with the history/technology behind them, which have made “doing gluten-free” easier than ever before, but also more confusing!

An original MCSC member since 1982, she continues to be the new member contact for the group, speaking with/learning from hundreds and hundreds with celiac over the years. She is also a mother and grandmother..6 in the family have celiac, spanning 3 generations and 120+ years of gluten-free eating.
