DE0261: Diabetes Online CDE: Updated Nutrition Facts Label - information for diabetes educators [and others]
In May of 2016, the FDA announced the updated Nutrition Facts label for packaged foods to reflect updated scientific information, including the link between diet and chronic diseases such as obesity and heart disease. This presentation will update diabetes educators in clinical and community settings on the major changes to the Nutrition Facts label. Practical, “behind the label” information on the use of the updated food labeling to empower participants to deliver effective Nutrition Facts label education within the communities they serve will be provided. FDA plans for educating consumers on the Nutrition Facts label will be shared, and participants will have an opportunity to help shape FDA education efforts by sharing their patient education best-practices.
The recording of the live webinar on 9/24/2019 will be available on the Division of Diabetes web site for three years. The live and recorded sessions of our trainings are all available at the following https://www.ihs.gov/diabetes/training/cmece-online-edu/diabetes-online-cme-ce-education/
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Teach patients about updated changes to the Nutrition Facts label.
2. Promote the use of the Nutrition Facts label to support healthier eating choices.
3. Identify one change you can make in your clinical or public health practice.
