Future labeling requirements, food additive regulations and federal nutrition programs may be based on conclusions reached by federally appointed panels of nutrition experts. The processes for updating the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes for sodium and potassium also rely on input from nutrition experts.

At IDFA’s Regulatory RoundUP, June 5-6 in Washington, D.C., Robert Post, Ph.D., senior director of Chobani Health and Wellness/Corporate Affairs, and Beth Johnson, M.S., R.D., principal and CEO of Food Directions LLC, will discuss topics and questions these panels will consider. They’ll also discuss how experts will work together and what their final recommendations may mean for dairy foods and beverages.
