In this episode of Gluten Free Unwrapped, Jenny Finke speaks with Suzie Carpenter, the founder of Savor by Suzie. While Savor by Suzie is now famous for its irresistibly crunchy, gluten- and grain-free pretzels, Suzie’s path here was anything but simple.
In 2000, when her daughter Kelly was diagnosed with autism, celiac disease, and more than twenty-five food intolerances, Suzie and her daughter faced a world of limited food options. Suzie channeled her family’s love of pretzels to create the world’s first grain-free pretzel. Not only that, Suzie has been on a mission to provide meaningful employment opportunities for neurodiverse individuals.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How Suzie got into the pretzel business – hint, it’s a family affair.
- What she was doing before the inception of Savor by Suzie and how it relates to her business today.
- What led her down the path to creating the world’s first grain-free pretzel?
- How her daughter’s autism diagnosis challenged-yet-inspired their family.
- Suzie’s commitment to employing neurodiverse employees.
