Ep 75 Michael Abbott on New Beer Labelling Regulations

May is Celiac Awareness Month and I am pleased to be collaborating with the Canadian Celiac Association to produce podcasts to support their theme of “Beyond the Gut”.

The CCA hosted a conference on The State of Celiac bringing together researchers, doctors, dietitians, food producers, influencers and others who had a stake in the future of celiac disease and the gluten free diet.  I was fortunate to attend this event and was able to have short interviews with some of the speakers and attendees.  During this last week of Celiac Awareness Month, the podcast will consist of five interviews each highlighting one of the speakers and topics that I found of interest.

I had the opportunity to speak with Michael Abbott who is the Section Head of the Food Allergy and Food Intolerance Assessment Section which is in the Bureau of Chemical Safety in the Food Directorate at Health Canada.  Michael was a panelist at the State of Celiac Leadership Forum and he mentioned the new regulations for beer labelling.  I wanted to know more, and I thought my listeners would be interested also.
