is the world's largest organization of food and nutrition
professionals. A leading source for nutrition information,
ADA promotes optimal nutrition, health and well-being to
the public. ADA is headquartered in Chicago. In addition,
ADA also has government affairs offices in Washington, D.C.
In an effort to educate consumers on the importance of home
food safety, the American Dietetic Association and the ConAgra
Foods Foundation have joined together for a multi-year national
public awareness campaign called Home
Food Safety...It's in Your Hands®.
