DESCRIPTION
If you have any questions or comments, please send them to [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you. Meeting Description: “For 20 years consumers have come to rely on the iconic nutrition label to help them make healthier food choices,” said FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D. “To remain relevant, the FDA’s newly proposed Nutrition Facts label incorporates the latest in nutrition science as more has been learned about the connection between what we eat and the development of serious chronic diseases impacting millions of Americans.” Found on nearly 700,000 products nation-wide, the Nutrition Facts label is undergoing its first major revision since it was first put on packages in the early 1990's. The newly proposed nutrition facts label reflects the latest in food science information, addressing the link between diet and chronic illness. Join us on April 17 for an interactive webinar with food policy expert Beth Johnson, MS, RD, founder and principle of Food Directions LLC.
