Cynthia Kupper of GIG on The Gluten-Free Voice with Jules

Gluten-free expert, author, coach and celiac advocate Jules Shepard hosts a weekly show offering news, interviews with intriguing guests, gluten-free baking tips and otherwise lively conversation!

The Gluten Intolerance Group of North America (also known as GIG®), led by its executive director, Cynthia Kupper, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established to support persons with gluten intolerances, celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, and other gluten sensitivities, through consumer and industry services and programs that positively promote healthy lives.

GIG programs include its GFCO independent certification program for manufactured foods, as well as its GFRAP program which implements consistent guidelines for participating restaurants to better allow those following a gluten-free diet to socialize and travel with more confidence in dining away from home.

Ms. Kupper will discuss GIG's new initiatives, celiac awareness month, and the recent announcement by Chuck E. Cheese that it will begin testing a cross-contamination-free, bake-in-the-bag gluten-free pizza in its Minnesota market.
