Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Request for Information on Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs). As the food industry association, FMI works with and on behalf of the entire industry to advance a safer, healthier, and more efficient consumer food supply chain. FMI brings together a wide range of members across the value chain — from retailers that sell to consumers, to producers that supply food and other products, as well as the wide variety of companies providing critical services — to amplify the collective work of the industry. More information about our organization is available at www.FMI.org.

FMI and our members share the important role of protecting and improving the health of all Americans. The food industry has always played an important role in supporting food safety and consumer health, and will continue to provide broad access to safe, affordable and nutritious food and beverage choices.
