Shopping Gluten Free with the Bari Family

Earlier this year, Senator Cappelletti joined Leslie Bari, a mom in District Seventeen, for food shopping at McCaffery’s Food Market in Gladwyne. Leslie’s son, Jax, lives with Celiac Disease, which means grocery shopping comes with additional challenges for their family. While McCaffery’s is known in the region for their clear labeling of products that are gluten free, this is not the norm across Pennsylvania’s grocery stores. In response to this challenge, Senator Cappelletti introduced legislation that would require all food and medicine distributed in Pennsylvania to clearly indicate if they contain gluten, helping to ease the burden for families like the Baris.
