World's Largest Gluten-Free Food Festival Returns to Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Mass., June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nourished: The Gluten Free, Allergy & Specialty Diet Festival, formerly The Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo, is returning to the DCU Center July 20-21 with expanded offerings to better accommodate the most current and on-trend food lifestyles. In addition to the existing Gluten-Free and Nut-Free zones, Paleo, Keto, and Plant-Based products will bring variety and educational opportunities to everyone living a gluten-free lifestyle. As in the past, all products at the festival will be gluten free.

At the Nourished Festival, attendees will have one-on-one moments with over 60 brands exhibiting the best products for food sensitivities, food allergies, celiac disease, and modified diets. The festival also provides the opportunity to sample and purchase products, meet founders, receive coupons and attend free educational presentations hosted by industry-respected speakers.

While all products at the Festival are gluten free, many exhibitors will also showcase products free from the top eight allergens - and beyond. The Nourished Festivals are managed by The Nourished Group, with a team fluent in gluten-free living, celiac disease, and food allergies - and the rising need to find safe and delicious food and lifestyle products for any specialty diet. Presented by allergen-friendly sponsor Enjoy Life Foods, this event is family friendly and ideal for anyone following a specialty diet lifestyle.

"Our festivals nourish the needs of the entire food community - whether its those with celiac disease, autism, autoimmune or inflammatory conditions or those committed to living a healthy lifestyle," says Nourished Festival founder, Jen Cafferty. "With comfort foods like pizza and baked goods to healthy lifestyle options like protein bars and probiotic drinks, this festival truly offers something for everyone. An event of this scale being accessible to the general public is a rare and exciting way to explore new options and sample products before buying them in store."

A sample of this year's exciting exhibitors includes:

• 110 Grill provides an extensive gluten-free menu to Worcester locals featuring meatloaf, pulled pork mac & cheese, grilled cheese and other unique gluten-free offerings.
• Massachusetts-based BeReal makes edible (and bake-able) plant-based cookie dough that is free from gluten, dairy, and eggs.
• Philadelphia-based exhibitor The Greater Knead will be sampling their unique allergy-friendly bagel recipe made with sorghum, white rice, and tapioca flour.

Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door. A one-day ticket is $15 for adults and $5 for children (3-12) at the door.
