On Thursday, Sept. 29, Dr. Barry Popkin testified at a special U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) public meeting in support of policies to improve the American diet and diet-related diseases. He joined six other consumer, research, government, and industry representatives who were invited to comment before an Independent Expert Panel as part of an ongoing operational review<\/a> of the FDA\u2019s human foods program. Popkin\u2019s comments focused on the high content of ultra-processed foods<\/a> in the current American diet; the link between poor diet and non-communicable diseases, including obesity; and the global experience with regulatory options that can impact food purchases and encourage healthier choices. He provided evidence from Chile on the effectiveness of front-of-package warning labels<\/a>, a policy that the current administration has prioritized in the Biden-Harris Administration National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health<\/a> published this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FDA\u2019s Independent Expert Panel will continue accepting public comments on the agency\u2019s human foods program operations through its online stakeholder portal<\/a> until Oct. 7, 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
