Key Points
The FDA, in collaboration with the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics, developed education programs to help physicians, pediatricians, and other health care professionals understand the Nutrition Facts label and counsel adult patients and parents and caregivers about using the label to make informed food choices that support healthy dietary practices and can help reduce the risk of developing some health conditions.
The program includes four videos and companion patient education materials.
FIM Opportunities
This video series will assist physicians, pediatricians, and other health care professionals in increasing their knowledge of the Nutrition Facts label, provide practical strategies for discussing the label with their patients, and better equip them to offer nutrition guidance that supports healthy eating habits. This information assists patients in following a Food Is Medicine intervention.
