celiac awareness day is coming!

Hello, friends!

It's been months.....  I got into nursing school, and summer courses started immediately.  Between classes & working (too much!), I've been running in circles chasing my tail!

But tomorrow (9/13) is Celiac Awareness Day, and exciting things are coming :)

In the meantime, here are some items from the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness:

• They're hosting a webinar on September 18 to discuss the new FDA's gluten-free labeling rule.  I held off making a post on this fantastic news to make sure I knew what it entails.  The NFCA is a great resource for information on the rule.
• If you Pinterest, there is helpful back to school board here.

Happy eating!!  

on to the next step for gluten free labeling!

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been working on the rule for gluten-free labeling since 2005, and on Monday it made its way to the White House for final review!  It's nearly a reality!!

It's now with the White House's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), which has a 90-day review limit.  (Keep your excitement somewhat in check, though.  Of the 143 proposals currently at OIRA, 84 have been there over that maximum...)

Happy eating!
