Nutrition, Health & Wellness
The focus of our Nutrition and Food Safety programs are aimed mainly at the practice of healthy diet and nutrition behaviors as well as improving knowledge and practice of food safety.
Food Guide Pyramid
The Food Guide Pyramid and Dietary Guidelines for Americans, as well as local and national statistics, serve as tools for helping consumers learn the facts about food and health. Programs are also tailored to specific groups.
