Upcoming Bionutrient food conference online

How much nutrition is really in our food? That is the raison d’etre of the Bionutrient Food Assoc and its conference-

Did you know that the nutrition facts panel on the side food package does not come from testing the food in it?

Are you aware of the process by which those numbers show up on the side of a package?

What is the path forward to getting those numbers to represent reality? Especially if you are producing or distributing food that is nutritionally superior?

Not that a nutritional facts panel is the be all and end all of where we want to be going, but it is where reality sits now for those who do buy food in a store.

Meet Tina Owens. With a career’s experience in the food industry, she is one of our foremost translators of how the system works so that those of us who want to engage know the rules of the road.
