Food and beverage companies are increasingly aware of the impact of their product portfolios on public health. As a result, some companies are leveraging the guidance of registered dietitian nutritionists and thought-leading health advocacy organizations to revise internal policies, product development priorities, and external communications in order to effect positive change in health and nutrition. In this session, two cross-disciplinary experts will explore examples of how RDNs are influencing these efforts, and outline the skills and competencies required for RDNs to support this work in collaboration with companies and nonprofits, whether on a local, regional or national scale.
