Nutrition science and dietary recommendations have been focused on reducing single nutrients for better health, which has had limited success in improving public health. As science advances, an emphasis is being placed on the entire nutritional quality of foods and dietary patterns. Certain food categories have an important role to play in helping individuals meet their dietary needs including fruits, vegetables, dairy, hot and ready to eat cereal, nuts, and seeds. The nutrient density of foods can be improved by limiting fat, sugar and salt while increasing positive ingredients, such as whole grains, fiber, minerals, and vitamins via fortification in some cases. This symposium will be a discussion between industry and academia to highlight the role of the food industry in public health to create nutrient dense foods and the application of nutrient density to dietary recommendations.

Learning Objectives:

Ignite a constructive dialog between industry and academia on the public health role of industry in nutrient density, including both research and products, Ignite a constructive dialog between industry and academia on the public health role of industry in nutrient density, including both research and products
