Food & Nutrition

Mind-boggling options

The food marketplace is a rapidly-changing melange of health claims and news about nutrition and food safety. It’s hard for the average consumer to sort out truth from hyperbole to be able to make smart decisions about what they feed their families.

How we help

Our nutrition and food safety work aims to protect assistance programs, help consumers understand labeling and make informed decisions, and keep companies accountable for the claims made on food products.
