Diet and Health Committee (DHC)

Our industry's commitment to being a leading positive contributor to the diet and health of the nation is reinforced by the work of this committee.

The committee's vision is: “For consumers, government and key stakeholders to trust and have confidence in our products from a diet and health perspective; to see them as socially responsible and to know that all products can fit into a balanced lifestyle.”
