Food Classification Research Roundtable:
Processing, Formulation, and Nutrition

  • We are pleased to offer an opportunity for an expanded audience to participate in the Workshop by supporting remote attendee/on-line attendee options.

Scientific rigor is crucial to evidence-based policies.

Health-related characteristics of processed foods continue to dominate discussions from consumers to policy makers:

  • from state-level actions to Dietary Guidelines for Americans;
  • from ingredient-specific designations to ‘non-UPF’ labels.

This roundtable will:

  • Provide an updated view of the scientific landscape.
  • Enhance the impact and implications of research projects that are currently underway.
  • Connect attendees with research consortia that are working to advance science and benefit public health.
  • Allow organizations to revise/strengthen their approach to the topic.

The Research Roundtable is organized by the tripartite IAFNS Working Group on Science-Based Principles for Food Classification Based on Processing and Formulation to Support Public Health.
