        Sign-on letter to the White House re: Food Service Guidelines for Federal Facilities

        The 46 undersigned organizations urge the White House to issue an Executive Order to require implementation of the Food ServiceGuidelines for Federal Facilities (FSG) in all federally owned and operated facilities. Developed by an interagency working group led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the FSG are evidence-based, currently voluntary best practices to align food service in federal facilities with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and advance food safety, facility efficiency, environmental support, and community development.

        Comments in response to “Supply Chains for the Production of Agricultural Commodities and Food Products”

        While most federal food service and feeding programs do follow at least some nutrition guidelines and some agencies try to purchase locally produced food, the federal government lacks a robust values-aligned food procurement policy and practices. food procurement can be a driver for the just, healthy, and sustainable food system we desperately need. We urge the administration to bring federal food purchasing practices into alignment with its policy objectives to achieve racial justice, fight climate change, support family farms, strengthen local economies, ensure nutrition security, support food and farmworkers, and protect animal welfare.

        Healthy food service guidelines: An impactful strategy for promoting health in institutions

        Various public and private institutions purchase, serve, and sell food to specific populations. Such institutions include schools, universities healthcare facilities, shelters, correctional facilities, and agencies that provide free meals to people with low-incomes. These entities are a consistent source of food for millions of people in the United States, and some disproportionately serve populations that experience inequitable access to healthy foods. They hold significant purchasing power that could be better leveraged to support healthy eating. Implementing healthy food service guidelines is an evidence-based strategy to improve the food environment in these settings. A growing body of research from schools, hospitals, public facilities, and congregate meal sites demonstrates that food service guidelines can lead to positive changes in the food environment, diet quality, and chronic disease risk factors. They also appear to be financially neutral or favorable.
