Understanding the Proposed FDA Healthy Definition: Implications for Dietetic Practice

The FDA’s definition of healthy is being updated for the first time in nearly 30 years. In this session, Kristin Rubin, PhD, the global head of nutrition for KIND Snacks, will detail the key changes that are under consideration by the FDA and their implications for dietetic practice and labeling. Kelly LeBlanc, MLA, RD, LDN, the director of Nutrition at Oldways, will also explore the unintended consequences of our current labeling landscape, the complexity of pursuing a single definition of healthy, and why it is imperative that dietitians take part in these conversations. The session will close with a sneak peek at how this definition is likely to be applied in a retail setting and will show dietitians practical ways to engage on this issue and make their voices heard. Thank you to KIND Snacks for sponsoring this session!
