Arlington, VA - Today, FMI – The Food Industry Association responded to the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission report on childhood chronic disease. FMI Chief Public Policy Officer Jennifer Hatcher offered the following statement.  

“As the food industry association, FMI is committed to advancing the health and well-being of American families. Our members are proud to provide grocery shoppers with the information they need to make informed decisions about the foods they purchase and to do so at an affordable price point and in support of varied personal health journeys – which can include multiple approaches to eating to address specific dietary needs.    

“We believe the MAHA Commission’s initial assessment serves as a formal invitation for a conversation with the Administration; it’s a conversation that recognizes the power of public-private partnerships in helping consumers make informed food choices from among the 32,000 options available to them when shopping in the average grocery store. FMI members have always been part of the solution, and we will advocate for realistic policies that are grounded in science, nutrition and consumer needs.”
