- Worried about pesticides in food? USDA reports greater than 99% of food samples they tested had residue levels below targets established by EPA. Bigger risk might be Americans not eating enough fruits & veggies, which are part of an overall healthy diet. https://www.agri-pulse.com/articles/20578-latest-usda-pesticide-residue-data-underscores-food-safety
@ConsumerReports
- Curling up with a steaming mug of hot chocolate is a perfect wintertime treat and one of our favorite ways to get through the season. However, CR staffers found that not all hot chocolates are created equal. https://www.consumerreports.org/food/best-hot-chocolate-a7444854618/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_TW
@FDAfood
- Thank you, @DrWoodcockFDA for all of your contributions to the mission of the FDA. @FDAFood is especially grateful for your commitment, vision, and leadership in building the new unified Human Foods Program.
@SecVilsack
- Under the leadership of @POTUS, @USDANutrition programs have become a powerful tool to reach 1 in 4 Americans. From schools to childcare centers, homes to retailers, we remain committed to ensuring the people we serve are able to attain their full potential.
- It was a pleasure to join @SecBecerra at @HHSGov’s Food is Medicine Summit. Together, we’re working to ensure our nutrition assistance programs reach every eligible individual so that everyone across the country can access healthy, safe, affordable foods.
@USDA
- This year marks the 50th anniversary of WIC. Since its inception it has become vital to the health and well-being of pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, infants, and children. ➡️https://bit.ly/49i4OYw #WIC50

Two-Year Anniversary of Customer Experience Executive Order: Improving Access to Food and Nutrition
@SecVilsack
- It is always an honor to witness the impact of crucial programs like REAP and WIC. These programs are integral to @USDA’s efforts in achieving nutrition security and clean energy access for rural communities nationwide. Thank you to @GovTimWalz for your warm and gracious welcome.
- At a local WIC Clinic in St. Paul, MN this morning, I got to discuss the importance of WIC with local leaders and mothers. It’s critical that Congress fully fund WIC for 2024 to ensure that clinics like this one can continue supporting moms, babies, and children.
@USDA
- In honor of #BHM, we are excited to share Dr. Caree Cotwright, Director of Nutrition Security and Health Equity, blog and video that highlights ways to ensure zip codes no longer define life expectancy and that everyone in this country is set up to thrive. https://fns.usda.gov/blog/black-history-month-advancing-nutrition-security-health-equity
- USDA is committed to connecting all Americans with healthy, safe and affordable food sources.
