and nutrition community on the evidence requirements for classifying foods based on processing and formulation to promote public health. Controversy has marked discussions about processed foods and what is classified as a processed food versus “ultra-processed foods” (UPFs). In meeting 7 of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC), members noted that a better definition of UPFs is required for evidence synthesis to successfully proceed.</p> <p>The goal of this effort is to deliver Principles which researchers can agree are representative of the evidence required to classify foods based on processing and formulation. An independent Writing Team comprised of public sector scientists will lead the drafting of the Principles. The draft Principles will undergo iterative feedback from the broader food and nutrition community through a variety of mechanisms. The feedback will be considered by the Writing Team as they refine the Principles prior to submission to a peer-reviewed journal.</p> <p><strong>Writing Team: </strong></p> <p>Jodi Bernstein, PhD RD,

foodborne illness from <em>Salmonella</em> in poultry. While industry continues to reduce <em>Salmonella</em> prevalence, the cases of human illness attributable to poultry remained unchanged. There is a need to better understand <em>Salmonella</em> levels and the serotypes most likely to cause human disease. Improved live bird management, better harvesting and processing controls, and other areas need data that can be shared to support science-based, risk-driven decision-making. A new partnership with academia, industry and government partnership creates a trusted, clearly defined space for the sharing of data—and to align on our shared interest in reducing <em>Salmonella</em> illnesses in humans. The development of a stronger and more comprehensive food safety framework helps control <em>Salmonella</em> to help prevent foodborne illnesses.</p> <p>Learn more about this project <a

However, while some training programs require an introductory ethics course, they are often not directly related to the food and nutrition field.</p> <p>Through the IAFNS Summer Research Fellowship Opportunity (SROF) program, a fellow developed a series of training videos — by students for students — that addresses issues young scholars are likely to face during their research career. The video series entitled “Food for Thought: A Student’s Guide to Food and Nutrition Research Integrity” covers emerging topics such as data management, sharing, and research ethics explored from the

As an organization (IAFNS) that funds food and nutrition research for the benefit of public health, it is critical to adopt a strategic approach to ensure transparency and integrity in the work that is funded.</span></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><b><strong style="font-style: inherit;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Approach: </span></strong></b><span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">To increase the transparency and rigor of funded science, the integration of open science practices, such as pre-registration of projects and open access publishing are key. Additionally, implementation of funding guidelines to safeguard the integrity of the research record plays a vital role in shifting towards increased transparency.</span></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Furthermore, fostering collaborations that can support new opportunities for diverse participation decreases barriers to access and participate in food and nutrition science. This includes prioritizing students from underrepresented backgrounds for participation in research fellowships and proactively reaching out to Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in Request for Proposal process.</span></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><b><strong style="font-style: inherit;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Results:</span></strong></b><span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> These practices have led to greater viewership of funded projects on a publicly accessible database, diversified authorship in peer-reviewed publications and increased participation in institution-hosted events. In 2023, IAFNS funded work resulted in peer-reviewed publications involving 91 authors from 49 affiliations and hosted events (webinar and in-person) featuring 148 presenters from 108 organizations.</span></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><b><strong style="font-style: inherit;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Discussion:</span></strong></b><span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"> The cumulative efforts to increase the transparency and accessibility of food and nutrition science gives the public greater visibility and trust in the scientific findings. By offering opportunities for diverse participation, we enhance diverse ideas to tackle key challenges in food and nutrition science.</span></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-style:

Food Products Database is a public-private partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences (IAFNS), GS1 US, 1WorldSync and the University of Maryland (UMD), whose goal is to enhance public health and to share open data by augmenting the USDA FoodData Central with nutrient composition and ingredient information on branded foods. The USDA Global Branded Food Products Database is seamlessly integrated into the USDA FoodData Central (FDC) and ensures that these data elements are publicly available to those who will utilize them. This includes, but is not limited to, federal agencies, the research community, international databases, proprietary databases and end users, the food industry, and consumers.</p> <p>USDA is in the process of incorporating new data elements and attributes into the database including rounded per serving label values and dual column nutrition label information.</p> <p>The goal of this project is to validate dual-column label data submitted via the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) by manufacturers. Industry members of the SoFHI committee will work with USDA to review the data, identify and resolve any issues and validate the data as presented in FDC, GBFPD.</p> <p>USDA will publish the results of the data quality initiatives and the Partnership will leverage the data to promote greater participation from CPG companies to share nutrition data with USDA via GDSN.</p> <p>To learn more about

protect the integrity and credibility of the scientific record from the potential influence related to funding source.</p> <p>The updates to these Guiding Principles strengthen guardrails that
