WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD-TV) — Pork producers are voicing concerns over the new definition of “Ultra-Processed Foods” coming from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), warning that it could have negative implications related to consumer consumption of pork products.
Dr. Ashley Johnson with the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to discuss what’s at stake as the FDA prepares to release new dietary guidelines.
In her interview with RFD-TV News, Dr. Johnson addressed potential issues with the proposed definition and outlined the strategy the pork industry would like to see as the FDA moves forward. She also discussed how a balanced approach could better support both consumers and pork producers and shared insights on the expected timeline for the agency’s next steps.
