We are excited to announce that the Washington D.C. Section of the Institute of Food Technologists will be hosting Food Policy Impact 2025 from Tuesday, April 29, 2025, to Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at ArentFox Schiff LLP in Washington, DC.
During this gathering, we will discuss the latest policy updates directly from representatives from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Agriculture (USDA), Health and Human Services (DHHS), and others. We will also look ahead at potential activities in the space under the Trump Administration, including implications and impacts of the “Make American Healthy Again (MAHA)” movement.
We will explore various hot topics related to food policy, including:
- Ultra-processed foods and implications within federal programs;
- Federal and state activities on food colors, additives, and GRAS substances;
- Progress and controversy in establishing the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans;
- Current updates and activities related to food traceability and safety;
Experts from diverse backgrounds will share their insights and experiences, providing valuable perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Whether you are a policy maker, industry professional, or simply interested in the future of food, this event is a must-attend. Engage in lively discussions, network with like-minded individuals, and gain a deeper understanding of the impact food policies have on the world of food and nutrition.
