On December 14, the 3rd edition of the São Paulo Gluten-Free Fair will take place at the São Luís Events Center, in the Consolação neighborhood. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the public will be able to enjoy one of the first events that exclusively brings together food entrepreneurs and products that are safe for celiacs.
Tickets cost from R$16 to R$24 and must be purchased in advance via the official website. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Tropa de Celíacos NGO, which helps families with dietary restrictions in situations of social vulnerability.
An inclusive fair with other dietary restrictions
Among the gastronomic options available are: pizza, sweet bread, party snacks, pies, pasta and many other alternatives that visitors can eat on the spot. In addition, those who want to stock up their pantry will find products such as bread, flour and cookies. All of this, of course, is gluten-free.
Vegans or those allergic to milk, soy, eggs, etc. will also find exhibitors with a variety of food options. As the date is close to Christmas, the public can take the opportunity to buy Christmas pudding and other themed products.

São Paulo Gluten-Free Fair: made by those who understand the subject
For those with gluten restrictions, eating a pizza, a doughnut or a pie can be a complicated mission. We want the São Paulo Gluten-Free Fair to be a place where people can eat well and safely.”
This is how Mônica, Denise and Regina, the fair’s organizers, sum up the event.
Mônica is the mother of a celiac and worked for many years in food companies, including Nestlé. She lived in Italy, one of the most developed gluten-free markets in the world, and it was there that she saw Brazil’s potential to expand in this area. She has already had a marketplace for gluten-free products and today has a content page focused on dietary restrictions, Guia sem Glúten.
Denise is celiac and has extensive experience in the food industry, having worked for companies such as Catupiry. Today, she is an entrepreneur, preparing oriental food at ‘Denise Ussami Comidas Orientais’ and 100% gluten-free confectionery at ‘Decaffe’. She also participates in the Tropa de Celíacos group as a clinical psychologist, helping people in vulnerable situations who have dietary restrictions.
Finally, Regina is also a celiac, the mother of a celiac, and an entrepreneur in the 100% gluten-free food segment, without cross-contamination. Her current ventures include Deliburger, Deliesfiha and Busy Bee gluten-free bakery.
