This summer the Biden administration called for an end to hunger in America by 2030. Private-sector and public-sector commitments to help achieve the goal added up to more than $8 billion.
The White House conference on hunger, nutrition and health held Sept. 28 addressed several issues affecting the food industry, including front-of-package labeling, voluntary sodium reduction targets and potential voluntary added sugar reduction targets. Investing in school meals and the Supplemental Nutrition Association Program (SNAP) also was covered.
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) raised concerns on Sept. 20 regarding the Biden Administration’s executive order on advancing research with biotechnology and biomanufacturing.
