AFFI issued these recommendations as the MAHA Commission nears release of a "Make Our Children Healthy Again" comprehensive strategy by August 12. 

This protocol provides a unified, data-driven approach to tracking temperature fluctuations from production to distribution.

Following the release of the Make America Healthy Again Commission report, the American Frozen Food Institute reinforced frozen foods role in critical nutrition.

AFFI membership called for practical policies that support the industry.

A 2022 survey of SNAP-eligible respondents revealed that frozen fruits and vegetables make it easier for them to eat more produce and save money.

 AFFI advocates before legislative and regulatory entities on the industry’s behalf, serves as the voice for the industry and convenes industry leadership to create an environment where frozen foods are essential in a dynamic marketplace. 

The American Frozen Food Institute responded to the Berry Food Safety Prevention Strategy, noting it aligns closely with AFFI-published guidance.

In its report, the DGAC notes that the consumption of fruits and vegetables is lower than recommended across all life stages. Frozen food makes produce consumption easier for all Americans.

Taking place virtually on September 17, the Food Safety Forum provided a venue for a moderated discussion on FDA’s current regulatory approach and responsibility in providing safety assurances, the roles of individual states, and a path forward that allows for innovation and is protective of public health. 

Frozen food makes consumption more accessible for busy families. It comes peeled and chopped, so it’s even easier for households to incorporate fruits and vegetables at mealtime.
