What s IDFA Working On?
Nutrition Policy Impact on Dairy 4
Focus on Healthy Eating Patterns Healthy eating patterns - Mediterranean, the U.S.-Style and the Vegetarian-Style: Fat-free or low-fat dairy A variety of vegetables dark green, red, oranges, legumes (beans and peas), starchy and others Fruits, especially whole fruits Grains, at least half should be whole grains A variety of protein foods, including seafood, lean meats, poultry eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds and soy products Oils Dairy group includes milk, lactose-reduced milk, yogurt, frozen yogurt, dairy desserts, and cheeses. Cream, sour cream and cream cheese are not included due to their low calcium content 5
Nutrients of Concern (i.e. under-consumed) Calcium, Potassium, Vitamin D, Fiber Added Sugars Defined as syrups and other caloric sweeteners used as a sweetener in other food products Less than 10 percent of calories 2000 calories diet - 50 grams of added sugars daily. Ice cream, yogurt, and flavored milk only account for 4% of the added sugars in our diet (47% of added sugars are from sugar sweetened beverages) Sodium/Salt Limit of 2300 mg for the general population 1500 mg for specific populations, such as those with high blood pressure Saturated Fat Less than 10 percent of calories 2000 calorie diet 22 grams daily Full-fat dairy, butter and cheese sources of saturated fat
Dairy Remains an Under-consumed Food Group 7
My Plate, My Wins Suggestion to make healthier choices still can accommodate dairy foods people like Order cheese with your egg sandwich Grab chocolate milk Treat yourself to a scoop of frozen yogurt Need to take into account the sodium, saturated fat or added sugar not exceed the recommended limits. 8
Per capita consumption of fluid milk products has been on a downward trend for decades 3% 2014

How do we increase dairy/milk consumption to recommended levels? Child Nutrition Authorization Bill 2015 Opportunities for milk and yogurt USDA to study and align milk and dairy options in school lunch and breakfast with 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Allow for low fat flavored milk and possibly larger sizes USDA to review crediting of meat alternate for yogurt and Greek Yogurts Higher protein yogurt would count for larger serving of meat USDA to study milk options redemption rate for WIC program Goal to reinstate Reduced Fat Milk (most popular at retail) for kids and moms
Sweeping Changes for Food Labels 12
Emphasis on Calories Updated Serving Size Updated Daily Values New Added Sugars Total Sugars DV for added sugars Change in nutrients required Actual amounts New footnote 13
How and why serving sizes changed Recommended Amount Customarily Consumed (RACC) Milk/Fluid Dairy No change in serving size (240 ml. - 1 cup of milk) Yogurt RACC would change to 6 ounces -170 grams (down from 8 ounces) 4 ounce/6 ounce/8 ounce containers would all remain one serving Multi-serving packages would use 6 ounces as serving size Cheese RACC for most cheeses would stay the same at 30 grams (1 oz. (28 grams) for bulk cheese) and cottage cheese (110g cup) Beverages Carbonated and non-carbonated (ice tea, lemonade, water, flavored water) increased from 12 to 20 fl. oz.
Serving Size/RACC RACC for packaged ice cream, frozen desserts and novelties would increased to 2/3 cup (from ½ cup) Containers up to (but not including) 10.6 fl oz. pint would need to be labeled as 1 serving Containers from 10.6 fl. oz. up to 1 pint would need to label per 2/3 cup serving and per whole container
Impact on Claims Increased serving size and change in Daily Values will affect ability to make claims Comparative claims such as Light and Reduced Fat Reduced Sugar would not change since they are compared on same 1 cup serving size But inherent claims fat free or low fat will now be based on the larger 2/3 cup RACC and will require reformulation or loss of claim 16
Dual Colum Nutrition Information Single serving requirements change Foods with less than 200% of RACC are single servings For milk: 8 oz. but less than 16 oz. containers labeled as single serving Dual Colum Labeling Food with 200% - up to and including 300% of RACC (2-3 servings) will require dual column labeling serving and whole container nutrition information Pint of ice cream, 16 oz. container of milk
Nutrition Fact Label Changes Implications for milk Daily Values (DV) : Recommended Daily Allowance for Nutrients Protein, sat fat, trans fat, cholesterol, stay the same Total fat 65 g 78 g Total Carbohydrates 300 g 275 g Dietary Fiber 25 g 28 g Calcium 1000 mg 1300 mg (remains excellent source) Vitamin D 10 mcg 20 mcg (excellent good) Potassium 3500 mg 4700 mg (no longer good source) Vitamin A 1500 mcg 900 mcg (good source) Changes in Milk s Nutrients Than Can be Voluntarily declared Phosphorous, vitamin B12, Riboflavin (remain excellent source) Niacin (remains good source) Zinc 15 mcg 11 mcg (NEW good source Selenium 70 mcg 55 mcg (NEW good source) Pantothenic acid 10 mg 5 mg (NEW good source) Milk ( 8 ounce serving ) will now be a good or excellent source of 11 essential nutrients, but not potassium 18
New Focus on Added Sugars New declaration for Added Sugars New DV 10% or recommended calories 50 g/day Definition: Sugars that are either added during the processing of foods Or are packaged as such Includes sugars (free, mono and disaccharides), sugars from syrups and honey Sugars from fruit or vegetable juice concentrates that are in excess of what would be provided from the same volume of 100% fruit or vegetable juice of the same type Exclusions for 100% juice, fruit concentrates in jam, jelly or fruit spreads Flavored milk, yogurt, ice cream containing both natural (lactose) and added sugars, would need to provide records access to FDA to prove accuracy of labeling 19
New Definition for Dietary Fiber No longer based on analytical methods Definition includes: Intrinsic and intact naturally-occurring fibers Includes: Brans obtained by grinding Non-digestible carbohydrates created during normal food processing Isolated or synthetic fibers determined by FDA to have a physiological health benefit Includes: Beta-glucan soluble fiber, psyllium husk, cellulose, guar gum, pectin, locust bean gum, and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose Excludes: Prebiotic fibers such as inulin and oligofructose can still be used but will not count as fiber Records will be required if food contain mixtures of naturally occurring and other non-digestible carbohydrates 20
Compliance Dates for Label Changes Manufacturers with more than $10 million in annual food sales will be July 26, 2018 Manufacturers with less than $10 million in annual food sales, the compliance date will be July 26, 2019 Estimated that 800,000 labels will need to change!
New Development for Natural Claims No federal regulations for natural, all natural, 100% natural FDA policy: prohibits labeling natural if synthetic or artificial ingredients or added color that a consumer would not expect in a product Class action lawsuits alleging consumers are mislead by natural claims when ingredients are synthetically derived or from biotechnology FDA announced a request for comments on Natural labeling claims What the definition should include or exclude How the claim should be allowed to be used on labels. 22
