Federal nutrition guidelines provide broad guidance for healthy
populations, but do not focus on the varying nutritional needs of
older adults. Chapter 1 examines (1) the relationship of older
adults' nutrition to health outcomes and the extent to which
federal nutrition guidelines address older adults' nutritional
needs, (2) nutrition requirements in federal nutrition assistance
programs serving older adults and how these requirements are
overseen, and (3) challenges program providers face in meeting
older adults' nutritional needs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have taken steps to
address consumer confusion about date labels on packaged foods. For
example, to reduce confusion about introductory phrases on date
labels, such as whether the dates indicate food is safe to eat, and
resulting food waste, USDA in December 2016 issued a fact sheet on
date labels for consumers. Chapter 2 describes the steps USDA and
FDA have taken to address consumer confusion about date labels and
examines the extent to which USDA and FDA have coordinated with
each other and with nonfederal stakeholders on date labels. Chapter
3 reports on the challenges that exist to reducing food loss and
waste (FLW) in the United States. Disease outbreaks from tainted
food are an ongoing public health challenge. The Centers for
Disease Control estimates that each year, one in six Americans, 48
million people, get sick from foodborne illnesses, 128,000 are
hospitalized, and 3,000 die as reported in chapter 4.
